​
Overview

The Whop GraphQL API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and system stability.

​
Current Limits

10 requests per 10 seconds

​
Query Complexity Limits

In addition to request rate limits, the GraphQL API enforces query complexity limits:

  • Max Complexity: 1000
  • Max Depth: 10

These limits help prevent overly complex or deeply nested queries that could impact performance. If you encounter these errors, you’ll need to break your requests into smaller queries.

​
Handling Rate Limits

If you exceed the rate limit, the API will respond with a 429 Too Many Requests status code. When this happens, it’s best to wait until the rate limit window resets before making additional requests.

​
Best Practices

  • Implement exponential backoff for retries
  • Cache responses when possible
  • Batch GraphQL operations into fewer requests
