Rate Limits

WedoCOD applies rate limiting to protect platform stability.

Default Limits

The API uses Laravel's built-in rate limiting via the api middleware group.

Surface	Default Limit	Window
REST API (api/web/1.0/)	60 requests	Per minute
Dashboard	Standard web throttling	Per session

INFO

All subscription plans have unlimited API actions. Rate limits apply to request frequency, not to the total number of operations.

Bulk Operations

Bulk endpoints allow processing multiple items per request, reducing the number of API calls needed:

Endpoint	Max Items Per Request
POST /api/web/1.0/leads	1,000 leads
POST /api/web/1.0/orders	1,000 orders

TIP

Use bulk endpoints instead of sending individual requests to stay well within rate limits.

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limiting is applied, the response includes standard headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 42
Retry-After: 30

429 Response

When the rate limit is exceeded:

{
  "message": "Too Many Attempts."
}

Wait for the Retry-After period (in seconds) before retrying.

Queued Operations

Heavy operations are processed asynchronously via background queues:

Operation	Queue Priority
Lead/Order Import (Excel)	IMPORTANT
Lead/Order Export (Excel)	IMPORTANT
Push to Shipping Company	URGENT

These endpoints return immediately with a success response. The actual processing happens in the background.
