Rate Limits

NovaDataHub rate limits and quotas depend on the active plan and service. Applications should expect plan-aware enforcement and handle throttling gracefully.

Key points

Rate limits are enforced per service key.
Quota limits depend on the purchased plan.
Applications should use retries and backoff when rate-limited.

Common errors

429 rate_limited
402 quota_exceeded

Reference details

Parameters, response shape, and operational notes

Parameter notes

Think about both per-minute rate limits and longer-period quota ceilings.
High-concurrency jobs should spread requests rather than burst unnecessarily.
Different services may justify different worker counts depending on the workflow.

Response highlights

429 errors indicate short-term throttling pressure.
402 quota-exceeded behavior usually points to a longer-duration usage cap.
Rate-limit handling should be visible in logs, jobs, and operator dashboards.

Operational notes

Use exponential backoff or queued retries instead of tight retry loops.
Track usage trends so you can adjust plans before hard ceilings interrupt workflows.
Separate user-triggered requests from scheduled batch traffic where possible.

Implementation checklist

Decide how your app should behave when throttled versus when quota is exhausted.
Measure worker concurrency against plan limits before scaling jobs up.
Expose reset timing or quota state in internal monitoring when possible.

import requests
resp = requests.get('https://novadatahub.com/search', params={'q': 'rate limits', 'sync': 'true'}, headers={'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
print(resp.status_code)

C# HttpClient

using var http = new HttpClient();
http.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("x-api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY");
