Last Updated:
Overview
This article details how rate limits for the /userinfo endpoint are enforced when calls are made server-side from the same IP address on behalf of one or more users.
Applies To
- /userinfo Endpoint
- Rate Limits
Solution
/userinfo endpoint is limited by user ID and not by IP address.
This means it is possible to make up to 5 requests per minute with bursts of up to 10 requests for each user ID queried (as per the Rate Limit Policy).
Still, it is recommended to use the rate limit response headers to throttle responses accordingly.
