Rate Limiting

With a metadata monitor account, by default (Trial account) you are allowed 200 requests per day. (Fixed window method) Once this quota has been reached, you will receive an HTTP status code 429 - Too Many Requests If this happens too often, you can contact us at musicstorypro@music-story.com to increase your limit.

To find out where you stand, you have two options.

  1. Go to the motnitor metadata in the API - Monitoring tab

  2. Call the endpoint /user/api/status You'll receive a response like this

    {
    	"X-Rate-Limit-Remaining": 5,
    	"X-Rate-Limit-Limit": 5,
    	"X-Rate-Limit-Retry-After": 0
    }

Example: Suppose you have a rate limit of 1000 requests per day. If you attempts to make 1200 requests within a 24-hour period, the API will respond with a rate limit exceeded error, indicating that the user has reached their daily quota.
