# Rate Limits

"What rate limits do you have on the API?"

The following rate limits apply globally:

* Unauthenticated users: 500 calls/hour
* Authenticated users: 5000 calls/hour
* Applications using [OAuth authentication](/going-live.md): 15000 calls/hour

Additionally, some endpoints have stricter rate limiting. The API always returns the following information in the headers:

* `X-Rate-Limit-Limit`: the rate limit ceiling for that given endpoint
* `X-Rate-Limit-Remaining`: the number of requests left for that given endpoint
* `X-Rate-Limit-Reset`: the remaining time window before the rate limit resets, in seconds

We also send a `Retry-After` in the header on blocked requests to let you know when to call the endpoint again.
