Daily API limit for POST/PUT endpoints

We're introducing a daily API fair usage limit for POST/PUT endpoints. We consider fair usage to be a maximum of 10 000 POST/PUT requests daily per user per 24 hours. The daily limit will be reset at midnight in UTC.

In the case of exceeding the 10 000 daily limit on multiple occasions, we may start blocking your POST/PUT requests towards our API.

The daily limit is introduced in addition to the rate limiting and will apply to all POST/PUT endpoints provided by our API.

Example use-case

Martin is a user of Pipedrive. He has

• installed two apps from the Pipedrive Marketplace
• built two custom integrations using the Pipedrive API

Both apps and custom integrations are a subject to the same daily limit to make requests against the Pipedrive API on behalf of the user, Martin.

So for example, if one of those installed apps is making 350 POST requests per day and two of the integrations 100 PUT requests each per day, then there's 10000 - 350 - 100 - 100 = 9450 POST/PUT requests left for those two apps and two integrations to use for the remaining time until the reset.

The daily fair usage limit of 10 000 POST/PUT requests will be the same for all three plans (Silver, Gold, Platinum).

Introducing the daily API limit allows us to protect the system from data overload, to have more equal and higher performance distribution in order to handle your requests quicker.
