Rate Limiting

Usage of the Oracle Primavera Cloud API is subject to rate limits. By limiting the number of API requests that can be issued from a unique user, we are able to offer a more reliable service.

Primavera Cloud Rate Limits

The Oracle Primavera Cloud API has a maximum rate limit of 55 requests per second. The maximum rate limit may extend up to 65 requests per second in some cases. The rate limit resets every second of public API's server time.

When the user exceeds the invocation rate, beyond the maximum rate limit for a current second, the client will receive a 429 HTTP response status code. The response body will contain the following message.

Response
429- Too Many Requests

Tips For Working Within the Maximum Rate Limit

The following tips will help you to code defensively and reduce the possibility of exceeding the rate limit.

• Cache results whenever possible. This is especially true when you are displaying data to the public.
• Use logging to see how many requests you are making and throttle them as per the Oracle Primavera Cloud API rate limit.
