Overview

Rate limits for the SmartBuildings API are on a per IP address basis for calls to resource based endpoints like /buildings and /thermostats.

The rate limit headers indicating maximum limit will be of the form x-ratelimit-limit-*, while the headers indicating remaining limit will be of the form x-ratelimit-remaining-*.
