Rate Limit

A Rate limiting scheme is used to prevent excessive use of the API. The HTTP Response code will indicate when rate limiting was applied:

HTTP Response Code	Description
402	You have exceeded your monthly quota allowed by your subscription. The call could not be accepted. See paragraph 3.7 for more information on the API’s Pricing model
429	You have exceeded your daily Requests quota. See paragraph 6.4 for more information on the rate limiting used by the API

The allowed daily request quota is depending on the amount of monthly validations set for your subscription. In general, the maximum daily quota amounts to 40% of the monthly validations, with a minimum of 1000 requests. If you frequently experience rate limiting you can contact us at api@valdit.com to discuss your daily quota.
