Micro.blog supports several open APIs. We want people to build apps and scripts that work with the platform. We are not interested in hoarding web traffic for ourselves (because we don’t have ads).
To prevent abuse, we rate limit based on IP address. If you have built something that is requesting more than this limit, please get in touch.
Current limits from a single IP address:
Micro.blog platform: 300 requests / minute
Hosted blogs: 20 requests / second
When these limits have been reached, requests will get back an HTTP error such as 403 Forbidden. You can wait and try the request again, or present an error message to users.
