Question & Answer
Question
I am trying to run the Extract API to extract the last month's data and the data is extracted. However, after trying to run the same API multiple times, it shows - HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests.
Cause
This error occurs if multiple extract requests are made simultaneously. Only one extract request can be in progress at a time.

Answer
This error occurs if multiple extract requests are made simultaneously. Only one extract request can be in progress at a time. Typically, The API may provide a Retry-After header in the 429 error response. This header tells the client how long to wait before making another request. If the Retry-After header is present, customer should follow the duration indicated. Example of the Retry-After header: Retry-After: 120
Item history and snapshot extracts can take a very long time as a potentially huge amount of data can be returned. In this case the user running the Extract API needs to wait for longer time for example hours together to run the same API for a different tenure.
