Too many requests and rate limits

What a 429 means, the default per-key limit, and what to do next.

A 429 or “too many requests” response means Worklittle asked your integration to slow down, or a free monthly quota was used up. It is a guardrail, not a permanent ban.

Two different slows

- Per-minute rate limits stop a burst of calls that is too fast - Monthly free quotas stop some free routes after the month’s allowance is used

Both can look like “too many requests,” but the fix is different.

Default key limit

Authenticated API keys default to about 60 requests per minute per key. Public job-board pages have their own per-IP limits.

If your developer is looping too quickly, they should wait and retry with backoff, cache results, or reduce how often the integration polls.

What to do

1. Pause and retry after a short wait. 2. Confirm you are not creating a new connection for every tiny request. 3. Check Usage and Billing > Limits. 4. Read the detailed tables in Jobs rate limits or Business rate limits.

If you believe you are under the limit and still see errors, see Common API errors.
