# Access Frequency Restrictions

Once you got the access token, your application can successfully call the various interfaces provided by the CJ backend to manage or access the resources of the CJ backend.

In order to prevent application errors from causing an abnormal load on the CJ server, by default, each CJ user is limited to a certain rate of interface calls, and when this limit is exceeded, the corresponding interface call will receive a error code.

The following is the current default frequency limit, which may be adjusted by the CJ backend depending on operational conditions.

# Base Frequency

  1. No more than 10 requests/second per IP address;
  2. The maximum call frequency for non-login interfaces is 30 requests/second.
  3. Specific interfaces have separate settings:
  • /api2.0/v1/authentication/getAccessToken
    • Once every 5 minutes
  • /api2.0/v1/authentication/refreshAccessToken
    • 5 times per minute

# Special Frequency

Special settings:

  • The interface restricts user access frequency based on user level:
  • For Free users or the sales level is 0 or 1, it is limited to 1 request/second;
  • For Plus users or the sales level is 2, it is limited to 2 requests/second;
  • For Prime users or the sales level is 3, it is limited to 4 requests/second;
  • For Advanced users or the sales level is 4 or 5, it is limited to 6 requests/second.

# Daily Call Limit

For unverified users, the daily call limit per interface is 1,000 calls/day. This quota is designed to provide developers with sufficient calls to complete the development and verification of their integration flow. When the call limit is reached, the system will return a Too Many Requests error.

To request an increase in the daily call limit, please first complete the development of your basic integration flow (including core processes such as product query and order submission), then follow the verification process below to apply for account activation.

# How to Increase Your API Call Limit

When your API request triggers the daily call limit, the system will return a message similar to:

Too Many Requests, Sorry, you have reached the daily request limit (N times/day). Number of requests made: N. Please try again tomorrow.

To request an increase in your call limit, please contact us through:

  • Email: Send an email to developer@cjdropshipping.com

# Required Verification Materials

Please include the following information in your request:

  1. Integration Demo: A screen recording demonstrating your CJ API application scenario, covering the complete flow from product query to pushing orders to CJ Store Orders (a Google Drive link is acceptable);
  2. Store Verification: A backend screenshot clearly showing your store name;
  3. CJdropshipping User ID: Your CJ account ID (e.g., CJXXXXXXX), with email verified and a WhatsApp number bound;
  4. Applicant Information: Your API application scenario and applicant identity information (company registration details, or personal identity information if you are an individual developer).
