Rate limits

The following limits currently apply to Lokalise API:

  • Access to all endpoints is limited to 6 requests per second. This limit is applied per API token and per IP address.
  • Number of concurrent requests per project is limited to 10. For example, if you've sent 10 API requests to a single project, the next request will be rate limited until at least one of the initial 10 completes.

If you exceed the limit, a 429 HTTP status code will be returned with the body in JSON format:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Too many requests. Cool your jets and try again in a bit",
    "code": 429
  }
}
