API update: Better visibility into rate limits

We’ve updated the StatusGator API v3 to help you see how many requests your integration can make and handle rate limits more smoothly.

Responses that count toward your organization’s per-minute limit now include three headers:

• X-RateLimit-Limit shows the number of requests your plan allows per minute.
• X-RateLimit-Remaining shows how many requests are still available in the current window.
• X-RateLimit-Reset shows, in seconds, how long an idle client would need to wait for a clear window. Rate limits use a rolling 60-second window.

If a request exceeds your limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests and a Retry-After header telling your integration how many seconds to wait before trying again.

These details are especially useful for integrations that make frequent requests or process many monitors. You can track your remaining capacity and build retry behavior around the response from the API.

Read the API v3 documentation for the full rate limiting details.
