# Throttling

Subsequent calls limit

To maintain an high quality of service Gsped applies some throttling rules for the API calls.

In the following table are reported the limits not to be overcome:

{% hint style="info" %}
**the limits refer to 5 minute intervals**
{% endhint %}

| Type of Call          | Call limit |
| --------------------- | :--------: |
| Shipment POST         |     300    |
| Shipment Confirm POST |     300    |
| Other calls POST      |     450    |
| DELETE calls          |     600    |
| GET Calls             |    1200    |

The overcoming of these limits leads to a 403-FORBIDDEN

For the tracking endpoint calls we suggest not to call more than once per hour for the single shipment; on average our systems query the systems of the couriers every 60 minutes.

It is possible to ask for the activation of webhooks in your systems to avoid pollings on Gsped.
