Rate limits
NFTPort employs rate limits as safeguards so that the API stays stable under traffic spikes. The 429 HTTP status code shows up if your request is hitting the rate limiter. We recommend handling responses with code 429 by implementing a retry mechanism with an exponential backoff schedule.
The exact rate limits depend on the plan and are outlined below. If two rate limits apply for the same endpoint for the same timeframe, the smaller one is applied.
| API | Limit timeframe | Free tier limit | Growth tier limit | Scale tier limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-chain NFT Data | ||||
| All NFT data APIs | requests per second | 3 | 10 | 50 |
| Minting, contracts and storage | ||||
| All NFT minting APIs | requests per second | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| All NFT minting APIs | requests per month | 10,000 | 200,000 | 200,000 |
| All IPFS storage APIs | requests per second | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| All IPFS storage APIs | requests per month | 100,000 | 300,000 | 300,000 |
| Upload metadata directory to IPFS | requests per month | 30 | 100 | 100 |
