March 8th Throttling Details

We are planning to release API throttling limits on March 8, with the following adjustments:

• Throttling is now at the user level. To avoid thottling conflicts, please provide different third-party integrations with different user logins.
• Page sizes for fetched information will be increased to 10,000.
• Retrieving information will have rate limits of 5 calls per minute per call.
• All posted information, except "syncOnlineSale" and "updateOnlineSaleStatus", will have call limits of 10 calls per minute per call. The aforementioned calls will allow 20 per minute.
• All bulk operations will allow a maximum of 100 objects per post.
• Rate limit information will be returned in our response headers using the following format:
  X-RateLimit-Limit: 5
  X-RateLimit-Remaining: 4
  X-RateLimit-Reset: 1454942420

The following plans are subject to change, but are provided for your convenience. We expect to roll these out after throttling has been implemented for a time:

• The additional bulk operations will be added: "setItemQuantities", "createKits", "createProducts", "updateProducts", "syncOnlineSales", "updateSaleStatusBulk".
• "getProducts" will no longer provide extensive quantity information. "getItemQuantities" will be adjusted provide the same information instead.
• Tenants will be given an umbrella limit where, once reached, every call will be limited to 1 per minute. A report inside SkuVault will be developed for tenants to see which third-party developers are abusing their given API umbrella.
• Developers will be required to register for identification. Developer limits and methods have yet been decided.
