Shopify API Rate Limits FAQ
The REST Admin API uses a leaky bucket: Basic/Shopify stores get a 40-request bucket that leaks at 2 requests/second, Advanced Shopify leaks at 4/second, and Shopify Plus gets a 400-request bucket leaking at 20/second. The GraphQL Admin API instead uses a points-based bucket that restores at 100 points/second (Standard), 200/second (Advanced), or 1,000/second (Plus).
