I am unable to find any documentation on the MWS Orders API throttling rates.

Edit: The PDF files that used to be linked here seem to be gone. Links now go to the new HTML docs

The throttling algorithm is described in the MWS Developer Guide. The request quotas vary between APIs and calls.

The Products API has a separate page describing quotas:

All other APIs list quotas and recovery rates in their "Description" section of each call:

  • Have any idea about MWS Finances API Reference or any other documents... – Jay Venkat Aug 29 '15 at 04:58
  • @JayVenkat I was unable to find a MWS Finances API Reference as a PDF file, but it is available online here http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_UK/finances/index.html - Throttling rates are listed below each API call's description section. – Hazzit Aug 29 '15 at 20:02

The throttling algorithm is described in the Orders API Documentation.

http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/orders-2013-09-01/Orders_Overview.html

The request quotas vary between APIs and calls.

Here are some common calls and their relevant throttle limit as of December 2016.

The ListOrders and ListOrdersByNextToken operations together share a maximum request quota of six and a restore rate of one request every minute.

The GetOrder operation has a maximum request quota of six and a restore rate of one request every minute.

The ListOrderItems and ListOrderItemsByNextToken operations together share a maximum request quota of 30 and a restore rate of one request every two seconds.
