              Rate limit

              Be nice. If you're sending too many requests too quickly, we'll send back a 429 error code (TooManyRequests).

              You are limited to 60 reqs/min per account. Practically, this means you should (when possible) authenticate users so that limits are well outside the reach of a given user.

              The API response headers also give you the following X-RateLimit value

              Header (per GCP policy, all Header values will change to lower case e.g. x-ratelimit-reset since Oct 1, 2019)

              HeaderExampleDescription
              X-RateLimit-Reset1406096275The unix timestamp when the rate limit will be reset.
              X-RateLimit-Limit60The rate limit ceiling for your account per min.
              X-RateLimit-Remaining59The number of requests left for the 1 minute window.
