name: Panopto REST API Rate Limits
description: Panopto enforces rate limits on its public REST API per endpoint per OAuth2 client ID or IP address. Limits apply separately to each API endpoint, so simultaneous calls to different endpoints each count independently against their own limits.

  - scope: per_endpoint_per_client

notes:
  - Rate limits apply per endpoint independently; calling 2 different endpoints simultaneously allows up to 10 calls per second total
  - To request increased rate limits, contact Panopto support directly
  - OAuth2 client ID is the primary identifier for rate limit tracking on authenticated calls
  - Unauthenticated requests are tracked by client IP address
