Call Throttling

Tixstock implements IP address throttling, which is based on the number of requests sent from the same IP address within a one-minute time period.

If the number of request exceed 300 request per minute freehold the API will continue to return a 429 status code error until 1 minute time frame has lapsed.

Example 429 API Response

{
  "data": [],
  "meta": {},
  "errors": {
    "title": "Too many request made, subsequent requests will be blocked for the next minute.",
    "code": "429"
  }
}

Can the threshold be changed?

The threshold is under constant review and may changed based on API usage, and the needs of our resellers. If you feel the limit doesn’t meet your requirements, please let us know in advance of your integration, and we will update the limit accordingly.

Please note, if the threshold changes, Tixstock will only increase the volume of request permitted and will refrain from decreasing the threshold.
