**Description** I have created a meeting (via the API) and before adding any registrants to the meeting I update the meeting and set registrants\_confirmation\_email to false. Then I add registrants to the meeting. When adding registrants to a meeting there is no bulk API and we have to call _ **/meetings/{meetingId}/registrants** _ for each registrant added. The problem is we are running into API rate limits. Is there a way for us to get increased API rate limits for our account,or cloud you please provide bulk API endpoints to create a meetings and add users to a meeting. Also its better if we cloud set registrants\_confirmation\_email to false when creating a meeting. **Which Endpoint/s?** [post] - /users/{userId}/meetings [patch] - /meetings/{meetingId} [post] - /meetings/{meetingId}/registrants **Error** 429 Too many requests **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** JWT **Additional context** We are prototyping a knowledge sharing web service where people can schedule and join meetings. For this we thought of using zoom to provide the audio/ video conferencing solution. ---

Hey @vishvaka, We are coming out with improved rate limits in March, however for now please make sure you are making no more than 10 requests per second. [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits) We will also work on an easier way to bulk add registrants via our API. Thanks, Tommy ---

We are seeing this same issue. It appears to have started fairly recently, even though our request rates to the Zoom API have not increased. Is “10 requests per second” a new rate limit that you have started enforcing recently? Please provide as much information as you can on this. Is this rate limit per sub-account? or for the master account? ---

Hey Tommy, We’re running into this issue with our integration as well ([Acuity Scheduling](https://marketplace.zoom.us/apps/z_EsRti0TCyE2JAC4Z6kRA), client ID: G7iUS7s2TUSJIOs5E3pICQ. It appears to have started recently (December 22nd). For a particular account, our integration will make 1 or 2 requests at a time, and intermittently we’ll receive a 10r/s 429 rate limit response. Is this limit per connected account, or per OAuth client account? We’re a little bit stuck on finding the root cause. Best, -Carl ---

Hey @tfarmer.2u, and @acuityscheduling, What endpoints are you calling? Are rate limits have not changed: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits) Although due note that in March we are releasing new rate limits: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#rate-limit-changes](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#rate-limit-changes) Thanks Tommy ---

Thanks Tommy, we’re calling the v2/users/:id endpoint — that’s the only one giving us the rate limit error. We are calling it, however, right after the create-meeting call. It is just 2 calls in total, and the limit error only happens a small percentage of the time. I did see the note about new rate limits! Best, -Carl ---

Hey @acuityscheduling, You can make 10 requests per second for those endpoints. Double check you are not exceeding that or have a race condition in your code that is making excess requests. Let us know if you see the issue again. Thanks, Tommy ---

@tommy thank you. The upcoming rate-limit changes will instead, be limited per-account correct? [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#rate-limit-changes](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#rate-limit-changes) Best, -Carl ---

Sorry I am sidetracking a bit. @tommy, may I know for the following API endpoint /metrics/meetings/{meetingId}/participants Is it counted as “Resource-intensive” that got 10 requests/second for Education. Or “Resource-intensive(Dashboard\*)” that got 12 requests/minute? Since the document just say “GET /v2/metrics/meetings” instead of “GET /v2/metrics/meetings/\*”, so just wanna clarify. Further, will the new rate limits be applied on March 1st or just some day in March? ---

Hey @vicker, These endpoints are the most resource intensive: **Dashboard APIs** with following endpoints: **GET** /v2/metrics/meetings **GET** /v2/metrics/webinars **GET** /v2/metrics/zoomrooms **GET** /v2/metrics/im [The other dashboard / reports endpoints are standard resource intensive.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#request-types) The limits will be applied on March 1st.

Hi, we are receiving error 429 against [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/USER\_ID/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/USER_ID/meetings) API while creating a new meeting. The user is an API License user and has 478 meetings scheduled. We are able to create the meeting with another user but for a specific user we are receiving 429 error. ---

I’m getting the same error as well with a Discourse plugin that ties into Zoom, I’m not the developer just a user so forgive my ignorance. The developer says the plugin should only be making 2 api calls and should not be hitting the limit in any way. Here’s the discussion on Discourse: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/zoom-webinars-plugin/142711/5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/zoom-webinars-plugin/142711/5) Here is the call log: ```auto { endpoint: "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/VI4TWwOvT-SKaycEEMws8w", response_headers: [ "Set-Cookie: cred=73B256F7AFD1CC7FEA83613B92876F28; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly" ], date_time: "2020-03-25 11:42:17", method: "GET", request_body: "N/A", response: { code: 429, message: "You have reached the maximum per-second rate limit for this API.

Hey @davidkingham, do you know how many users are using this plugin? Any user using it affects the rate limits. Thanks, Tommy [Next page](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-api-rate-limits/7266.md?page=2)
