What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are limitations on API request rates. Dq Treat franchisees must adhere to specific API request rate limits to ensure system stability and performance.
The maximum API request rate is capped at 4,000 requests per minute, averaged over a one-hour window. This means that the total number of API requests within an hour, when divided by 60 (minutes), should not exceed 4,000 requests per minute. Additionally, there's a peak API request rate limit of less than 200 requests per second, measuring the instantaneous rate of API requests.
These limitations are put in place to manage the overall load on the system and prevent any single user from overwhelming the servers. Franchisees should be aware of these limits when integrating any third-party applications or developing custom solutions that interact with Dq Treat's systems via APIs. Failure to comply with these limits could result in service disruptions or other penalties.
