Postman’s API access rate limits are applied at a per-user basis in unit time.

Access to the API using a key is limited to 300 requests per minute. Every API response includes headers to identify the status of your consumption. The response headers vary, depending on the API called:

HeaderDescription
RateLimit: limit=300, remaining=###, reset=##The current rate limit, the number of calls remaining, and the time until the current rate limit resets, in seconds.
RateLimit-Policy: 300;w=60The current rate limit policy and rate limit reset window (w), in seconds.
X-RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-LimitThe maximum number of requests that the consumer is permitted to make per minute.
X-RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-RemainingThe number of requests remaining in the current rate limit window.
X-RateLimit-Reset, RateLimit-ResetThe time until the current rate limit window resets, in UTC epoch seconds.
X-RateLimit-RetryAfter, RetryAfterIf the current rate limit is exceeded, the time left until you can resume making requests, in seconds.
RateLimit-Limit-Month, X-RateLimit-Limit-MonthThe total number of requests permitted per month, based on the plan.
RateLimit-Remaining-Month, X-RateLimit-Remaining-MonthThe number of requests remaining in the current month.

Your Postman account gives you a limited number of free Postman API calls per month. You can check your usage limits with the Postman API or the resource usage page.
