API LIMITS
The Shopify REST Admin API applies rate limits to the API requests that it receives. Every request is subject to throttling under the general limits. In addition, there are resource-based rate limits and throttles.
Limits are calculated using the leaky bucket algorithm. All requests that are made after rate limits have been exceeded are throttled and an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error is returned. Requests succeed again after enough requests have emptied out of the bucket. You can see the current state of the throttle for a shop by using the rate limits header. More information can be found:
