    <title>topic Re: api call limit in Discuss Dropbox Developer &amp; API</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/api-call-limit/m-p/315266#M318</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;While there isn't a limit specifically on the number of upload or download calls in Basic accounts, the Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system that limits how many API calls overall can be made in a given period of time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We don't have any specific numbers documented for that. It is only designed to prevent abuse though, and is accordingly relatively generous. Further, the limits operate on a per-user basis. That being the case, you generally don't need to worry about hitting it in normal use.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also note that not all 429s and 503s indicate rate limiting, but in any case that you get a 429 or 503 the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am currently using dropbox basic account .I have read the online discussions and come to conclusion that&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;There is no limit to the no of upload api calls I can make.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;There is no limit to the no of download api calls I can make .&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Am i correct in my conclusion.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The limit is only in terms of space.If I need more space only then I upgrade&lt;/P&gt;</description>
