Limits

To ensure a positive experience for all, the Workiva API enforces a number of constraints.

Rate Limits

The Workiva API may rate limit clients based on the current system load or an excessive request frequency. In these cases, you will receive an error response with status code 429 Too Many Requests. To help mitigate this, we recommend respecting any Retry-After response headers when provided.

Payload Size

The Workiva API currently limits the size of any request payloads to a maximum of 10485760 bytes (10MB).

Timeouts

The Workiva API currently limits the length of any request to 29 seconds.
