# Rate limiting

📈 In order to offer a smooth experience for everyone, Deck API has rate limitations on its endpoints. 

By default, the API will accept a maximum of **500 requests per minute** for a given client before returning a `419` response saying that the request has been rate limited.
This rate can go up to **40 requests per second** on short period of times.

Some ressource-heavier endpoints have a lower limit, like the product information endpoint, which is at 300 RPM / 8 RPS

Some more critical endpoints have a higher limit, like the search guide, which is at f 800 RPM / 50 RPS

👉 These limits are fairly high and should not bother you if you're not calling the API with too many parrallel workers. However if you feel it's a problem, please contact us.

👉 These limits could change a bit over time depending on the usage of the API. Any change will be updated in this documentation.
