Hi, we are developing a marketplace application that will be used by a lot of people. In REST API documentation, it is said that there are limits for the number of normal requests (10/sec.) and a more strict limit on /report calls. The question is, do this limits apply to every application user individually, or the application as a whole. We are using OAuth by the way, so we have different authentication tokens per user. If the limit is per-application, can it be extended somehow? And can my app or IP address get banned for making too much requests? Another question is am I safe to assume that I will always get status code 429 if the application reaches any of the rate limits (including daily ones)? Or should I parse the response body for error code or something? ---

Right now it is actually on a per account basis. We are looking into changing this but for now it is at the account level. Yes, you should get a 429 when you hit the limit. ---
