You can configure API-specific rate limit policies for managed APIs and custom APIs. The rate limit policy controls the number of times API consumers can invoke the API during a designated time period.
The API-specific rate limit policy overrides both the organizational and the group policies. For example, if the organizational rate limit is 10 invocations per second, and the API-specific rate limit is 20 invocations per second,
API Manager
rejects attempts to access the API after the 20 invocations per second limit is reached.
If an API-specific rate limit policy and a group rate limit policy aren't enabled for an API,
API Manager
applies the organizational policy to the API. The maximal rate limit that you can define is 3,000 requests per minute.
