Are there any limits on the number of calls that can be made to the IFS REST API?

Question

Specifically, are there any caps on the number of API calls allowed within a certain timeframe (e.g., per hour or per day)? I ask because many publicly available APIs—such as OpenWeatherMap—impose such restrictions.

I am particularly interested in the following scenarios:
・I would like to monitor data from an external system by calling the REST API at 30-second intervals.
・I intend to use the "client credentials" authentication flow, which requires calling an API to obtain an access token before making the actual data requests. Are there any limits that apply to these access token requests as well?

Business Impact: If such limits exist, the operations I am planning would not be feasible.

Hi ​@IWANBEThere are no rate limits imposed on IFS APIs. but based on what you query and number of calls, it could impact the performance overall.IFS has two endpoints /main and /intas the name implies, main is the entry point for all user facing API requests. /int is the integration endpoint and requests to this endpoint does not affect the end users.If your API calls are in /main endpoint, evaluatethe performance of the API call since heavy calls on every 30 seconds will add a significant load on top of the usual user traffic.Hope it would help to clarify your questions :)Damith
