I am using airtable to dynamic my website content and erliear it was working but now because of i have free version and too many request are there in the website so it shows me “429” error code and data doesnot fetched.

  1. You can only make 5 requests per second per base, as outlined here:
    https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/rate-limits
  1. One way to slow down your requests is by using Make’s advanced automations for Airtable, which gives you a “sleep” tool. If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.
     
  2. Also, note that your free plan only offers a total of 1,000 API calls per workspace per month. You can check how many API calls you’ve used so far by going into your workspace settings.
     
  3. On the Teams plan, you get a total of 100,000 API calls per workspace per month. On the Business and Enterprise plans, you get an unlimited number of API calls.

Hope this helps!

The 429 error means you’re making too many requests to Airtable’s API, which happens with the free plan limits. To fix it, try slowing down how often your site asks for data or consider upgrading to a paid plan with higher request limits.


As a workaround, try combining the data your website needs into a single record via linked records and rollups, that way you’re only doing a single call per load; did this for my website and it worked pretty well!
