API REQUEST LIMITS SALESFORCE
Organizations depend heavily on Salesforce to drive business processes, manage data, and enable customers. A key component for all these processes is the application programming interface (API) which enables the Salesforce platform to be integrated with other business systems and applications. In order to ensure the best user experience and performance, Salesforce limits the number of API requests that an organization can make. Every organization has different needs and requirements and it is important to understand how to optimize your Salesforce API request limits to maximize the benefits offered. Knowing your limits and how to work within those limits can help your organization stay compliant, improve performance, and prevent any performance issues that might arise from too many API requests. Organizations that plan to use Salesforce in any capacity should be aware of the following Salesforce API limits: • Concurrent API Requests: At most, twenty concurrent requests can be processed by the Salesforce API at one time. • API Requests per Day: A limit of 1,000 API requests over a 24-hour period is allowed for each organization. If the limit of 1,000 API requests is exceeded, the organization will receive a 429 response code. • API Requests per org or IP Address: There is a limit of 5,000 API requests over a 24-hour period that can be sent from an organization or IP address. If more than 5,000 API requests are sent over this time period, the organization will receive a 429 response code. • Rate Limit: The Salesforce system limits the number of API calls that an organization can make over a period of time. The limit is determined based on usage and the number of API calls made. Organizations should also note that all API limits are monitored for each organization and will vary if you are on different Salesforce editions. It is important to understand the Salesforce API limits that may affect the performance of your organization and take the necessary steps to ensure that you don’t exceed these limits. In order to manage your API request limits, it is recommended to use a Salesforce release management, backup and recovery, and security solution. This solution can help your organization monitor API usage and ensure that the API request limits are not exceeded. This solution can also help to ensure that your organization is compliant with Salesforce regulations, while providing the best performance and customer experience. By utilizing a Salesforce release management, backup and recovery, and security solution, your organization can ensure that it meets its API request limits, while maximizing the benefits that Salesforce offers. By staying informed and understanding how to best optimize your API request limits, your organization can continue to make the most of the Salesforce platform.
