    Limitations

    Number Requests for Primary Data Endpoints

    The Float API imposes the following limits for the primary data endpoints:

    • GET requests: up to 200 requests per minute
    • Non-GET requests (e.g. POST, PATCH, DELETE): up to 100 requests per minute

    If you exceed the limit and receive the following error: 429 Error too many requests by this user, wait for a brief period before making additional requests.

    There may also be a burst limit for optimalization purposes:

    • GET requests: up to 10 requests per second
    • Non-GET requests (e.g. POST, PATCH, DELETE): up to 4 requests per second

    Number Requests for Report Endpoints

    For Reports endpoints, the request (GET) limit is 30 requests per minute.

    Troubleshooting

    Data Preview Unavailable

    No data preview when you click on Test Data might be caused by an issue with your source configuration. The most common causes are:

    • Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward via manual data load.
    • Insufficient permissions: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.
