Usage and Rate Limits

Rate limit refers to the number of API calls one can make in HPE Aruba Networking Central per day.

The number of API calls per day is dynamic and is based on the number of subscribed devices in the account. By default, the value is set to 5000 API calls per day.

Note

Rate Limit resets at GMT midnight.

The table below illustrates important values relevant to the usage and rate limits of the API calls. These values can be found in the HTTP Response Headers for all API calls.
