If you wish to increase your rate limits or quotas, please contact Galxe support.
Rate Limits & Quotas
Our API has two types of limits:- Rate Limits: Maximum queries per second (QPS) you can send
- Usage Quotas: Total number of requests allowed per month
Free Tier Limits
| Endpoint | Rate Limit | Monthly Quota |
|---|---|---|
| https://graphigo-business.prd.galaxy.eco/query | 10 QPS | 100,000 requests |
What Happens When Limits Are Exceeded
Rate Limit Exceeded
When your application exceeds the rate limit (10 QPS), the API will return aHTTP 429 Too Many Requests response code. You should implement exponential backoff and retry logic to handle these responses.
Monthly Quota Exceeded
When you reach your monthly quota (100k requests), the API will return aHTTP 429 Too Many Requests response code until the next billing cycle begins.
Best Practices
- Implement Retry Logic: Use exponential backoff when receiving 429 responses
- Cache Responses: Store frequently accessed data to reduce API calls
- Batch Requests: Combine multiple queries when possible
- Monitor Usage: Track your API usage to avoid hitting quotas unexpectedly
Rate limits and quotas may vary based on your account type and are subject to change. Contact our support team for enterprise pricing and higher limits.
