API limits

Every API endpoint has a rate limit of 2 requests per second. Except for sending emails, which have a different rate limits as explained below.

Sending emails

Each workspace has two starting rate limits:

• Per second: 2 requests.
• Per day: 5000 requests.

This rate limit is shared between all API keys and API requests and SMTP requests within one workspace.

To increase these rate limits, please contact support.

Once you go over these limits, you will get a 429 error code.

You can always find your current rate limits in the Emailit Dashboard.

Tips

Here are some tips to help you avoid hitting the rate limits:

• Configure sending limit based on the rate limit per second. For example, if you have a rate limit of 2 requests per second, you should send at most 2 emails per second.
• Use queueing to send emails.
• Have a retry mechanism to handle rate limit errors and automatically retry sending emails.
