Let us specify APIs RPM

There is a lack of definition and documentation on APIs limitations. According to Yisrael, it is 250 API RPM.

In this case, what is considered as an API request? Here are two lists that I have created

Verified list (stated by Yisrael):

  1. 250 RPM for queries and inserts (wixData API).

Unverified list (hope someone can verify them):

  1. Changing wix elements? Example: $w(“#element”).label = “hello”;

  2. A declared function whether in /public or on page code.

  3. Backend functions from JSW or JS files (No Wix’s api). Example export function hello(){ return “hello” }

  4. Web methods. What is considered as a web method in Wix’s context? An example would be nice.

  5. Is the limit 250 RPM per instance still true according to this Wix article . Does it mean 250 RPM for each guest visitor / user? If yes, there can be 600 concurrent users / guest visitors and if all of them are doing less than 250RPM, the site won’t crash or get a 429 error?

Please feel free to fill in the “Unverified” list so we can have a more complete documentation about this recurring question.

Would truly appreciate if some moderator from wix can answer in this way: 1. Yes, manipulating element with $w would be considered as one single API RPM.

Understand that Wix is constantly working on improvements, and that things are always changing. See the newly published article Velo About Backend Limitations for the latest information. If you need further details or clarification, I would recommend contacting Wix Customer Care .
