About the API

Here's our online API technical guide : https://api.360learning.com/

The API is exclusively reserved for customers who have subscribed to a binding offer for a minimum of 12 months. For more information, do not hesitate to contact our team.

Rate limits

In order to protect the service for all customers and prevent abuse, the 360Learning API is subject to the following rate limits:

• Up to 50 read operations (GET) per second per API key
• Up to 10 read operations (GET) per second per IP address
• Up to 5 write operations (PATCH/POST/PUT/DELETE) per second per API key
• Up to 10 write operations (PATCH/POST/PUT/DELETE) per second per IP address

The following routes have special rate limits:

• The DELETE deleteGroup and POST importExternalCoursesStats routes have a limit of 1 request per second per API key.
• The POST createOrInviteUser and DELETE deleteUser routes have a limit of 2 requests per second per API key.

Once you exceed the limit, API calls return a response with an HTTP status 429 code.

If you need to run a higher number of requests, we suggest you pace the calls by batch or by setting a timer on the scripts.

Other limits

• The POST createGroup route has a limit of 30,000 groups.
