Rate Limit Policies
Frontegg enforces rate limit policies on its APIs to protect your application and user management infrastructure and ensure a seamless user experience. When rate limits are exceeded, Frontegg responds with an HTTP Status Code 429 (Too Many Requests). Your application should handle these responses by checking the status code and implementing a back-off strategy to avoid infinite retry loops.
Limits for Frontegg workspaces
In some cases, the rate limits will be by IP address, and in some cases, they will be by vendor ID.
General rate limits
Note that the general rate limits within every API group refer to all routes within this "group" that are not specified in the table below.
