Rate Limits
Postman API has a rate limit of sixty(60) request per minute. This means that a user can make a maximum of 60 requests per minute to any of the endpoints. The API rate limits are applied at a per-key basis in unit time.
When a user hit the rate maximum limit, the user will receive a response similar to the following JSON, with a status code of 429 Too Many Requests.
{
"error": {
"name": "rateLimitError",
"message": "Rate Limit exceeded. Please retry at 1465452702843"
}
}
