Rate limits

Request limits for the SnitchFeed HTTP API.

Overview

All v1 endpoints are limited to 20 requests per minute per organization. Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a JSON body that may include retryAfter (seconds).

The window is rolling: each successful request consumes one token until the bucket refills.
