Podio Rate Limit decreased

Do you know why RateLimit is 60?

If docs say "The general limit is 1,000 API calls per hour".

One week ago the limit was fine but these days changed.

I am creating a workspace from the podio-php, each workspace has 4 apps by default and each of them has hooks, the problem is when I try to verify the hooks.

So, this is my global function to call the API: 

function initPodio()
{
     Podio::setup(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, array(
        "session_manager" => "PodioBrowserSession"
     ));

    if (!Podio::is_authenticated()) {
         try {
             Podio::authenticate_with_password(USER, PASSWORD);
         } catch (PodioError $e) {
            // Something went wrong. Examine $e->body['error_description'] for a description of the error.
         }
    }
}

I called every time I need to use podio library, for example: when I created a workspace:

initPodio();
$podio_space = PodioSpace::create($attributes);

or when I need to create an item of an app.

Solution

  • I think you are getting rate limit error from Podio authentication end-point. Please update your question with full request and response, that will definitely help understanding your case.

    To avoid rate limiting on authentication, please store and re-use access_token and refresh_token (they are available after initial login). There is no need to re-authenticate with each request. This is explained in more details here: https://developers.podio.com/authentication
