Rate Limiting

Working with Wildberries API rate limits.

Description

The Wildberries API enforces rate limits per endpoint. This example shows how to work within these limits effectively using the SDK's built-in rate limiting and manual strategies.

Understanding Rate Limits

Different API endpoints have different rate limits:

Module	Typical Limits
Products	1-10 req/sec
Orders FBS	3 req/min with 20s intervals
Analytics	1 req/min
Promotion	Varies by endpoint
Finances	1 req/min

SDK Built-in Rate Limiting

The SDK automatically handles rate limits:

import { WildberriesSDK } from 'daytona-wildberries-typescript-sdk';

const sdk = new WildberriesSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.WB_API_KEY!,
  // Rate limiting is enabled by default
});

// The SDK will automatically queue requests to respect limits
async function fetchMultipleEndpoints() {
  // These calls will be automatically rate-limited
  const [categories, balance, orders] = await Promise.all([
    sdk.products.getParentAll(),
    sdk.finances.getBalance(),
    sdk.ordersFBS.getOrdersNew()
  ]);

  return { categories, balance, orders };
}

Handling Rate Limit Errors

import { RateLimitError } from 'daytona-wildberries-typescript-sdk';

async function withRateLimitHandling<T>(
  operation: () => Promise<T>,
  maxAttempts = 3
): Promise<T> {
  for (let attempt = 0; attempt < maxAttempts; attempt++) {
    try {
      return await operation();
    } catch (error) {
      if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
        console.log(`Rate limited. Waiting ${error.retryAfter}ms...`);
        await sleep(error.retryAfter);
        continue;
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retry attempts exceeded');
}

function sleep(ms: number): Promise<void> {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Usage
const categories = await withRateLimitHandling(() =>
  sdk.products.getParentAll()
);

Sequential Processing with Delays

async function processOrdersSequentially(orderIds: number[]) {
  const results = [];
  const DELAY_MS = 20000; // 20 seconds between requests

  for (const orderId of orderIds) {
    try {
      const status = await sdk.ordersFBS.getOrderStatuses({ orders: [orderId] });
      results.push({ orderId, status, success: true });
    } catch (error) {
      results.push({ orderId, error, success: false });
    }

    // Wait before next request (except for last one)
    if (orderId !== orderIds[orderIds.length - 1]) {
      console.log(`Waiting ${DELAY_MS / 1000}s before next request...`);
      await sleep(DELAY_MS);
    }
  }

  return results;
}

Batch Processing with Rate Limiting

async function processBatchWithRateLimit<T, R>(
  items: T[],
  processor: (item: T) => Promise<R>,
  options: {
    batchSize?: number;
    delayBetweenBatches?: number;
  } = {}
): Promise<R[]> {
  const {
    batchSize = 10,
    delayBetweenBatches = 1000
  } = options;

  const results: R[] = [];
  const batches = chunk(items, batchSize);

  for (let i = 0; i < batches.length; i++) {
    const batch = batches[i];

    // Process batch in parallel
    const batchResults = await Promise.all(
      batch.map(item => processor(item))
    );
    results.push(...batchResults);

    // Delay between batches (except last)
    if (i < batches.length - 1) {
      await sleep(delayBetweenBatches);
    }
  }

  return results;
}

function chunk<T>(array: T[], size: number): T[][] {
  const chunks: T[][] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += size) {
    chunks.push(array.slice(i, i + size));
  }
  return chunks;
}

// Usage
const productIds = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const prices = await processBatchWithRateLimit(
  productIds,
  async (id) => sdk.products.getNmId(id),
  { batchSize: 3, delayBetweenBatches: 1000 }
);

Rate Limit Aware Queue

class RateLimitQueue {
  private queue: (() => Promise<unknown>)[] = [];
  private processing = false;
  private lastRequestTime = 0;
  private minInterval: number;

  constructor(requestsPerSecond: number) {
    this.minInterval = 1000 / requestsPerSecond;
  }

  async add<T>(operation: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      this.queue.push(async () => {
        try {
          const result = await operation();
          resolve(result as T);
        } catch (error) {
          reject(error);
        }
      });
      this.processQueue();
    });
  }

  private async processQueue() {
    if (this.processing || this.queue.length === 0) return;
    this.processing = true;

    while (this.queue.length > 0) {
      const timeSinceLastRequest = Date.now() - this.lastRequestTime;
      const waitTime = Math.max(0, this.minInterval - timeSinceLastRequest);

      if (waitTime > 0) {
        await sleep(waitTime);
      }

      const operation = this.queue.shift();
      if (operation) {
        this.lastRequestTime = Date.now();
        await operation();
      }
    }

    this.processing = false;
  }
}

// Usage: 1 request per second
const queue = new RateLimitQueue(1);

// All requests will be automatically spaced
const results = await Promise.all([
  queue.add(() => sdk.analytics.getSalesFunnelProducts({ selectedPeriod: { start: '2026-01-01', end: '2026-01-31' }, limit: 10, offset: 0 })),
  queue.add(() => sdk.analytics.getSalesFunnelProducts({ selectedPeriod: { start: '2026-02-01', end: '2026-02-28' }, limit: 10, offset: 0 })),
  queue.add(() => sdk.analytics.getSalesFunnelProducts({ selectedPeriod: { start: '2026-03-01', end: '2026-03-31' }, limit: 10, offset: 0 })),
]);

Best Practices

1. Use SDK built-in rate limiting - The SDK handles most cases automatically

2. Batch similar operations - Group API calls to minimize total requests

3. Cache responses - Avoid redundant calls for data that doesn't change often

4. Use pagination wisely - Fetch larger pages less frequently rather than small pages often

5. Monitor rate limit headers - Log when rate limits are hit to optimize your code

6. Implement circuit breakers - Stop making requests temporarily if too many fail
