Hi Community,

Can someone let me know is there any Rate Limit on Shopify REST APIs from single IP using different access tokens


Example
IP - xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx
Access Tokens - acc_tok1, acc_tok2, acc_tok3, acc_tok4, acc_tok5

 

I have 5 access token. for each token there is a Rate LIMIT of 40 requests per minute or 2 requests  per second , Can I make 200 requests per minute or 10 requests per second using 5 access tokens from single IP?

Thanks in advance

If your only spinning up multiple apps with the view to emulate a higher call rate for a certain action, then you should expect to be throttled.

 

What are you trying to do with those multiple keys?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply

I am thinking of creating an app where we give insights on the products of any store. For that I have to fetch products of a store and other details required.

When multiple user install our app at the same time how do I handle rate limiting? Because we are fetching the required data from Shopify
