https://api-web.nhle.com/v1/ Rate Limiting #73

Description

@Afischbacher

The endpoint https://api-web.nhle.com/v1/ appears to have started rate-limiting calls (via Cloudflare) as of around October 28, 2025. I’m unable to find any publicly documented rate-limit parameters (requests per minute/hour, per IP or per API key).

As a result:

  • My application (and likely others) are unexpectedly receiving 429 or similar responses.
  • It is unclear how many requests are allowed, whether the limits vary by endpoint, whether back-off is required, and whether there are any sanctioned alternative routes.
  • Without clarity, maintaining reliability when consuming this API is difficult.

Posting this here to see if anyone knows anything about what these values are or how to address them going forward into the future.

Thanks!
