• Zoom introduces new V2 API Rate Limits in March 2020 to support scaling. • Current one-size-fits-all limits insufficient for growing organizations. • New limits tailored to Account Type and API Request Group. • Account Types based on Zoom Plan groups (Pro, Business, Enterprise, etc.). • Request Groups classify APIs by infrastructure importance and load intensity. • Changes may impact existing apps; developers should review docs.

Article Summaries:

  • Zoom announced that its V2 REST API will receive new rate limits in March 2020. The change replaces the current one‑size‑fits‑all limits with a tiered system that varies by account type (Pro, Business, Enterprise, etc.) and by request group (e.g., core, dashboard). Most developers will see higher per‑minute and per‑day caps, though the resource‑intensive dashboard group will drop from 1 req/sec to 6 req/min for Pro and 12 req/min for Business+. Rate‑limited responses will include new headers (X‑RateLimit‑Limit, X‑RateLimit‑Remaining, X‑RateLimit‑Reset, Retry‑After) and certain lock‑key paths (userId, userEmail) will have special restrictions.
