Chart Studio API rate limits
Updated August 01, 2017
Introduction
Chart Studio throttles the number of requests made to its servers. This keeps server traffic and costs manageable while still providing a useful experience. If you exceed the number of allowed requests for your plan, you will receive a message and have to wait 1 to 24 hours to make additional requests.
Chart Studio uses the V2 version of the Plotly API. While the popular API libraries (Python, R, MATLAB) use both the V1 and V2 versions of the Plotly API.
Limits on Requests to Chart Studio Servers
While many functions use the API, The API limits are as follows:
| API client | Exceptions | Per Day | Per Hour | API Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Python, Arduino, R, MATLAB | None | 50 | 30 | V1 |
| Chart Studio (plot.ly) | GET requests are not limited | 1000 | None | V2 |
