name: Delinea API Rate Limits
description: Rate limiting policies for Delinea REST APIs across Secret Server, DevOps Secrets Vault, Privilege Manager, and Platform APIs. Delinea does not publish explicit rate limit thresholds in public documentation; limits are enforced at the server level and governed by third-party integration guidance.
url: https://docs.delinea.com/online-help/secret-server/api-scripting/rest-api/index.htm
limits:
  - api: Secret Server REST API
    notes: No publicly documented rate limits. Delinea recommends that third-party integrations respect token expiry and avoid issuing calls too quickly without waiting for responses and timeouts.
    authentication: Bearer token (OAuth 2.0) or Windows Integrated Authentication
    token_lifespan: Configurable by administrator
    best_practices:
      - Respect token expiry and refresh proactively
      - Wait for API responses before issuing subsequent calls
      - Handle 429 and 503 HTTP status codes with exponential backoff
  - api: DevOps Secrets Vault (DSV) API
    base_url: https://secretsvaultcloud.com/v1/
    notes: No publicly documented rate limits. The API uses standard HTTP status codes including 429 for rate limit exceeded.
    authentication: Bearer token via Authorization header
    http_error_codes:
      - code: 200
        meaning: Success
      - code: 400
        meaning: Bad request
      - code: 401
        meaning: Unauthorized
      - code: 403
        meaning: Forbidden
      - code: 429
        meaning: Rate limit exceeded (implied by standard HTTP practice)
      - code: 500
        meaning: Internal server error
  - api: Delinea Platform API
    notes: No publicly documented rate limits. OAuth 2.0 access tokens are used for all requests.
    authentication: OAuth 2.0
general_guidance:
  - Contact Delinea support or review your subscription agreement for specific rate limit thresholds.
  - On-premises Secret Server deployments may have different limits than cloud-hosted instances.
  - DevOps Secrets Vault is cloud-only and multi-tenant rate limits may apply.
