Plan-aware API rate limiting for reliable integrations
Protect Stoify API integrations with transparent per-second, per-minute, and per-hour quotas that scale with the selected plan.

Make API capacity clear before production
Integrations are easier to operate when the API contract includes practical capacity guidance. Stoify rate limits every API key across three windows so teams can understand both short bursts and sustained usage.
Three windows, one predictable contract
The current quotas are:
| Plan | Per second | Per minute | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 | 100 | 1,000 |
| Pro | 10 | 500 | 10,000 |
| Business | 25 | 2,000 | 50,000 |
| Enterprise | 50 | 10,000 | 250,000 |
All three windows apply simultaneously, and each API key has its own counters. That keeps one integration from consuming another integration's allowance.
Recover cleanly from a 429 response
When a request exceeds a window, Stoify returns a 429 response with Retry-After plus limit, remaining, and reset headers for each window. An integration can use those values to pause and retry instead of guessing how long to wait.
The rate-limit breakdown is also shown in the dashboard API reference and on the pricing page, so teams can choose capacity before connecting a production workflow.
Part of a controlled API foundation
Rate limiting works with API key management and public catalog endpoints. Together they provide secure credentials, useful data access, and a clearer operating contract for external tools.
