Rate Limits

The conduit API service is throttled by default.

One request is allowed every (n) number of seconds. Requests that exceed this limit will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.

Note the maximum timerange that can be requested by all API's is 31 days. This limit applies to all API calls for retrieving data.

AlphaX applies a maximum of 843000 datapoints into the aggregation (i.e. Raw records that will be grouped and sorted). A maximum of 105120 datapoints will be outputted per sensor in the API output.
