Notifications for using Shifter API

With Shifter API, you can integrate Shifter and CI services such as Circle CI or Netlify, or other applications you operate.

Limits are placed on the number of requests from external servers or services.

In order to provide a more stable WordPress and deployment environment, we will be limiting the number of calls per day to some URLs in the Shifter API.

Shifter API rate limitations

Each plan has a limit on the daily number of API calls.

Plan	Daily API requests
Free	50
Tier 1	50
Tier 2	100
Tier 3	300
Legacy	50

Counted API requests

Requests to call containers are counted.

Shifter counts the following APIs if it returns HTTP status 20x, 30x, 40x.

Please note that calls with a response status in the HTTP 500 range due to problems with the API server, such as system failures, are not included in this restriction.

Action	Method	Value
Starting WordPress	`POST`	`/sites/{site_id}/wordpress_site/start`
Stopping WordPress:	`POST`	`/sites/{site_id}/wordpress_site/stop`
Starting generator	`POST`	`/sites/{site_id}/artifacts`
Stoping generator	`DELETE`	`/sites/{site_id}/artifacts/{artifact_id}/generator`

What happens if exceeds API call rate limit

If you make an API call that exceeds the limit, your API calls will be restricted until midnight the next day. Please change your plan or try again after midnight (UTC) the next day.
