All requests to the Current Weather Data API are subject to rate limits.
Limits
On the Free plan:
- 60 requests per minute
- 1,000,000 requests per month
If you exceed these limits, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response.
How to handle rate limits
When you receive a 429 response:
- Stop sending requests temporarily
- Wait at least one minute before retrying
Avoid sending bursts of requests in a short time window.
Best practices
- Cache responses when possible
- Avoid making duplicate requests for the same data
- Add retry logic with a delay when receiving
429 errors
Example retry strategy (JavaScript):
async function fetchWithRetry(url, options = {}, retries = 3) {
const response = await fetch(url, options);
// If rate limited (429) and retries remain, wait and retry
if (response.status === 429 && retries > 0) {
const delay = 60000; // wait 60 seconds before retrying
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
return fetchWithRetry(url, options, retries - 1);
}
// If the request failed for another reason, throw an error
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`Request failed with status ${response.status}`);
}
// Otherwise, return the successful response
return response;
}
