Rate limits
Bridge to Brands v1 rate limits per API key and per account, how 429 and Retry-After work, and why portal-side pacing is separate and not configurable.
| Operation | Limit (per key) |
|---|---|
| search / product / availability | 60 / min, burst 10 |
| lookup (bulk) | 10 / min, up to 200 items each |
| orders | 10 / min |
| everything, per account | 600 / min |
Over the limit you get 429 with a rate_limited problem and a Retry-After header. Wait that many seconds before retrying.
Portal pacing is separate. Each brand connection has one live portal session on one worker, and every portal call is paced so the brand sees a steady, polite rate however many keys you run. It is not configurable. Prefer POST /brands/{brand}/lookup (up to 200 items) over many single calls.
