Rate limiting
In order to protect the backend we have placed default rate limits, which are accounted on a daily basis.
The API methods are grouped into two zones with different limits.
Here's the list of API methods and their corresponding zones:
The default limits for Pro plan are as follow:
| Zone | Limit |
|---|---|
| Zone 1 | 100 requests per day |
| Zone 2 | 100 requests per day |
Each Team plan includes one shared developer application with the default API rate limits. Once created, it can be used by all Team members. Additional shared applications and higher API rate limits are available as add-ons.
⚠Limits can only be increased for developers who want to create publicly available apps on platforms where Inoreader is not available or by purchasing an Custom Inoreader plan.
Contact us if you need an increase.
You can monitor your usage from the Developer panel in Inoreader:
You can also track the usage programmatically. For each API request, there are 4 response headers containing your limits and the current usage, as well as a counter, telling you in how many seconds the timer will reset.
