API Submission Rate Limits

The Blogware system can accept a maximum of five (5) API commands per second. Attempts exceeding five per second will be denied. Requests that have been denied are not queued and will have to be resubmitted once your submission rate has returned to five per second or below.

Denied requests will receive the following response:

<methodResponse>

  <fault>

    <value>

      <struct>

        <member>

          <name>faultCode</name>

          <value>

            <i4>-99</i4>

          </value>

        </member>

        <member>

          <name>faultString</name>

          <value>

            <string>Error: Ratelimit exceeded</string>

          </value>

        </member>

      </struct>

    </value>

  </fault>

</methodResponse>

The values to check for are -99 and Error: Ratelimit exceeded.  If you receive this response, be sure to resubmit your request.

Rate limits are enforced to ensure the integrity and reliability of the Blogware system.

If the rate limit of five (5) is insufficient for your needs, contact your sales representative to request an increase to your commands-per-second limit.
