10000 api request limit for each subaccount or for all subaccounts?

[Deguaces Logroño]

Good morning, is the api limit of 10,000 requests per day for each subaccount or for all subaccounts? For example in my case I have subaccounts by country. If I make 10,000 requests to the Spanish sub-account in one day. Can I make another 10,000 requests that day to the French Sub-account? Thank you

Hello Deguaces,

I’m James from the Content API Team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

According to our documentation, if you’re making an API call at MCA level, then API quota limit of a specific method in your MCA account is being charged. As an example, if you’re making an API call to update your sub-accounts using the accounts.update method, then the quota of  accounts.update method of the MCA account will be consumed. While, if you’re making the API call at sub-account level, then quota of sub-account is charged.

If I misunderstood your concern, feel free to correct me and provide more information so that I can answer your questions accurately.

So, to clarify.... For example, If an api call has a limitation of 10,000 requests per day,  Does each of the subaccounts have 10,000 requests by day for that call regardless of how many calls have been made that day in other subaccounts? Thank you

Hello Deguaces,

If you’re making the API call at the sub-account level, then I confirmed that your understanding is correct. However, if you’re making an API call at MCA account level, wherein it performs actions on multiple sub-accounts, then as I mentioned in my previous email, then the API quota limit of a specific method in your MCA account is being charged/consumed.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
