FirstSales enforces public API rate limits by Developer API key and organization. Authenticated requests share one limit of 600 per minute for each key. whoami has its own tighter limit of 60 per minute. When a request is rate limited, the API returns 429 with a stable error code.

Client behavior

  • Back off on 429.
  • Use idempotency keys for retryable mutations. An exact replay of a completed write does not count toward the limit; see Idempotency.
  • Prefer pagination instead of large unbounded reads.
  • Avoid parallel writes against the same campaign or contact list unless your workflow is idempotent.
