The Solite API Rate Limit Calculator is a free developer tool that instantly calculates the minimum safe interval between API calls to avoid rate limiting. Enter any requests-per-minute/second/hour limit to get the precise delay in milliseconds and seconds, complete with a visual timeline and ready-to-use code snippets.
Why It’s Essential
- Avoid 429 Errors: Prevent "Too Many Requests" errors by respecting API limits.
- Optimize Performance: Find the perfect balance between speed and compliance.
- Instant Code Snippets: Get ready-to-use `async/await` (JS) and `time.sleep()` (Python) examples.
- Visual Timeline: Watch a real-time simulation of your request frequency.
- 100% Private: All calculations happen in your browser. No data is sent or stored.
Who Uses It
- Backend Developers: Integrating third-party APIs safely.
- Data Scientists: Scraping or fetching data without getting blocked.
- DevOps Engineers: Configuring service-to-service communication.
- Students: Learning about API throttling and best practices.
- Hobbyists: Building personal projects that interact with public APIs.
How to Use
- Enter the number of requests allowed by your API provider.
- Select the time unit (per minute, second, or hour).
- Instantly view the minimum safe interval in milliseconds and seconds.
- Use the generated code snippets in your application.
