|
title: Too Many Requests
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").
|
|
|
|
The response representations SHOULD include details explaining the condition,
|
|
and MAY include a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait before making a
|
|
new request.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
|
|
Content-Type: text/html
|
|
Retry-After: 3600
|
|
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<title>Too Many Requests</title>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<h1>Too Many Requests</h1>
|
|
<p>I only allow 50 requests per hour to this Web site per
|
|
logged in user. Try again soon.</p>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this specification does not define how the origin server identifies
|
|
the user, nor how it counts requests. For example, an origin server that is
|
|
limiting request rates can do so based upon counts of requests on a per-resource
|
|
basis, across the entire server, or even among a set of servers. Likewise, it
|
|
might identify the user by its authentication credentials, or a stateful cookie.
|
|
|
|
Responses with the 429 status code MUST NOT be stored by a cache.
