What kind of limits are in place?

Many people have asked about rate-limiting and other measures we have put in place to protect our API.

For the general public, we have 3 basic types of limits in place:

1. Request throttling, which currently stands at 20 requests per second with a 10 requests per second burst available
2. IP-based rate limiting, which currently stands at 100 requests per IP (or forwarded IP) over a 5 minute sliding window
3. Payload size limit, which currently stands at about 100kb per request to allow for up to medium-sized encrypted secrets

We have the ability to issue dedicated API keys for those wishing to opt out of the shared (public) limits. Please contact support@sniptt.com to discuss available options.
