Rate Limits - Namify API

Rate limits protect the platform and ensure fair usage. Limits are per API key.

Per-endpoint limits

Domain search	50 requests/second
Domain registration	10 requests/second
All other endpoints	10 requests/second
Burst allowance	Up to 2x the per-second limit for 5 seconds

Response headers

X-RateLimit-Limit	Max requests per window.
X-RateLimit-Remaining	Requests remaining in the current window.
X-RateLimit-Reset	Unix timestamp when the window resets.
Retry-After	Seconds to wait (only on 429 responses).

Handling 429

When you receive a 429 Too Many Requests, stop sending requests and wait for the number of seconds in the Retry-After header. Implement exponential backoff with jitter to avoid thundering-herd problems when your rate limit resets.

Need higher limits?

Contact your partner manager or email partner@namify.tech before high-traffic events (product launches, promotions). We can temporarily raise limits with advance notice.
