Rate Limits
The Zeplo API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability.Rate limit headers
Every API response includes rate limit headers:Default limits
Configuring API key limits
When creating an API key, specify the rate and monthly limits:Rate limit exceeded
When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a429 Too Many Requests response:
Best practices
- Implement exponential backoff when receiving
429responses - Cache responses where possible to reduce API calls
- Use bulk endpoints (e.g., bulk contact import) instead of individual calls
- Monitor the
X-RateLimit-Remainingheader to throttle proactively
