# Rate limiting

Rate limits are restrictions that our API imposes on the number of times a user can access our endpoints within a specified period of time. To learn more about rate limiting best practices, see [Rate limiting](https://apidocs.hibob.com/docs/rate-limit).

Below is a table detailing the rate limits for each endpoint in the attendance endpoints.
