Rate Limits

All Demandbase B2B API endpoints are subject to a rate limit of 1,000 requests per minute. If this limit is exceeded, the API will return an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error.

In addition, for asynchronous jobs (e.g., /job, /match/job, /subscriptions/job):

• You can have at most 2 jobs in accepted or processing state at any time.
  • If a third job is submitted while two are still in progress, the API will respond with: HTTP 429 Too Many Requests and Error message: Max 2 jobs are allowed at a time

• Throttle requests to stay within 1,000 RPM
• Queue or delay job submissions if 2 jobs are already running
• Use exponential backoff for retrying on 429 errors
• Monitor usage metrics to proactively manage API consumption
• Consolidate requests where possible to reduce load
