What is Rate Limiting?

Rate limiting in short, is used to control the rate(number) of requests sent or received by a network.

Why is Rate Limiting a thing?

Since KeyAuth LLC provides an API service, it's important to ensure the best connectivity for all users and prevent a "bloated" server. In order to do this, we must limit the amount of requests a user can make within a specific time frame. This also comes in handy when beginner programmers first work with our API and aren't quite sure how to properly function it.

What is our Rate Limit?

Users can make 30 requests within 30 seconds before being rate limited. Any amount higher than 30 within 30 seconds will result in an error:

{
    "status": false,
    "message": "You've been rate limited, you're sending too many requests"
}

How do I get rid of my Rate Limit?

If you find yourself rate limited, do not worry! Simply wait 30minutes - 1hour and then try your request again. If you're still rate limited, you may need to contact our support team via Discord, Telegram or our Website.
