Confluence REST API rate limit

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi, 

Can't seem to find any documentation on this so posting as a question. 

When using the REST API for my confluence site, is there any limit around rates? 

ie. is there a set limit of requests which can be processed per day? 

Thanks in advance

The Atlassian Rest API policy does mention something about rate limits: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/HOME/Atlassian+REST+API+policy#AtlassianRESTAPIpolicy-Resource/ratelimitsandpaging

There's aslo a lively discussion going on about the (lack of a) limit on the REST API in JIRA: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-41876

I couldn't find anything similar for Confluence, but I would guess it is the same.

p.s.  Since your question is development related, you might want to try asking this over at: https://community.developer.atlassian.com as well (if you haven't already).

There are a lot of helpful and experienced people over there, so you will probably get a quicker response.
