HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

Client Error

The client has sent too many requests in a given amount of time (rate limiting). The server may include a Retry-After header.

Common Causes

  • API rate limit exceeded
  • Too many login attempts
  • Aggressive scraping or automated requests
  • DDoS protection triggered

How to Fix

  • Wait and retry after the time specified in the Retry-After header
  • Implement exponential backoff in your client
  • Reduce request frequency
  • Contact the API provider to increase your rate limit
