      <title>DropBox API Rate Limiting</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/DropBox-API-Rate-Limiting/m-p/125800#M3694</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All&lt;BR /&gt;
I am Planning to host a web application which will display images in user's dropbox folder created by our app.&lt;BR /&gt;
Was highly impressed with getThumnail() and getStartThumnail methods in JAVA SDK to get Image Thumbnail but observed that it can only give us thumbnail of a single image at a time , with 1000 of images in users dropbox  i will have to make 1000 of getThumbnail() API calls, which is my major concern since there is a limit on number of api call one can make and i dont want my webapp to exceed that limit and with large number of users the api call will also increase.&lt;BR /&gt;
What is the best solution to solve this problem  and it will be very helpful if i can know API rate limiting metrics?&lt;BR /&gt;
Is it per app or per user? and&lt;BR /&gt;
Number of calls is per month or per year or per day?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Eagerly waiting for the response.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You're correct that unfortunately the thumbnails API call can currently only return a single thumbnail at a time. I'll be sure to pass this along as a request for a batch version though.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;For reference, the Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, though we don't currently have any specific numbers documented.  You can find some information here though:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/bestpractices" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/bestpractices&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;It is per-user however, so you don't have to worry about a single user causing trouble for your entire app.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Also note that not all 503s indicate rate limiting, but in any case that you get a 429 or a 503 you should just retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
