Rate Limits & Policies

Rate Limits

To maintain fair usage and performance, the following rate limits have been implemented on the DAP Query API.

Request	Endpoint	Calls per minute
Create job	POST /query/{namespace}/table/{table}/data	5
Get job	GET /job/	500
List tables	GET /query/{namespace}/table	5
Get table schema	GET /query/{namespace}/table/{table}/schema	500
Create pre-signed URLs	POST /object/url	200

These limits are independent for each endpoint. Reaching the limit for one request type or endpoint does not impact the limits for other types or endpoints. For example, reaching the limit for GET requests on /dap/query/canvas/table will not affect your ability to make POST requests or use other GET endpoints.

Since the CLI and Client Library are built on top of the Query API and use its endpoints, these rate limits apply to them as well.

If you anticipate needing higher limits, please contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss your requirements.
