Miro Rate Limits
Overview
Miro measures API usage in credits, not raw request counts. Each endpoint consumes a different number of credits based on complexity. The global limit is 100,000 credits per minute per app.
Credit System
Rate Limit Levels
Each Miro REST API endpoint is assigned a rate limit level that determines its credit cost:
| Level | Credits per Call | Example Endpoints |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lower cost | GET single board, GET single item |
| Level 2 | Medium cost | POST create sticky note, POST create shape, POST create connector |
| Level 3 | Higher cost | Batch operations, complex queries |
| Level 4 | Highest cost | Export, bulk data operations |
The exact credit cost per level is subject to change. Monitor via response headers.
Rate Limit Response Headers
Every Miro API response includes these headers:
| Header | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit |
Total credits allocated per minute | 100000 |
X-RateLimit-Remaining |
Credits remaining in current window | 99850 |
X-RateLimit-Reset |
Unix timestamp when window resets | 1700000060 |
When rate limited, the response also includes:
| Header | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Retry-After |
Seconds to wait before retrying | 30 |
Exponential Backoff with Jitter
interface BackoffConfig {
maxRetries: number;
baseDelayMs: number;
maxDelayMs: number;
jitterMs: number;
}
const DEFAULT_BACKOFF: BackoffConfig = {
maxRetries: 5,
baseDelayMs: 1000,
maxDelayMs: 32000,
jitterMs: 500,
};
async function withBackoff<T>(
operation: () => Promise<Response>,
config = DEFAULT_BACKOFF
): Promise<T> {
for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= config.maxRetries; attempt++) {
const response = await operation();
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
}
// Only retry on 429 and 5xx
if (response.status !== 429 && response.status < 500) {
const error = await response.json().catch(() => ({}));
throw new Error(`Miro API ${response.status}: ${error.message ?? 'Request failed'}`);
}
if (attempt === config.maxRetries) {
throw new Error(`Miro API: Max retries (${config.maxRetries}) exceeded`);
}
// Prefer Retry-After header if available
const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After');
let delay: number;
if (retryAfter) {
delay = parseInt(retryAfter, 10) * 1000;
} else {
// Exponential backoff with jitter
const exponential = config.baseDelayMs * Math.pow(2, attempt);
const jitter = Math.random() * config.jitterMs;
delay = Math.min(exponential + jitter, config.maxDelayMs);
}
console.warn(
`[Miro] ${response.status} — retry ${attempt + 1}/${config.maxRetries} in ${delay}ms`
);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
}
throw new Error('Unreachable');
}
// Usage
const board = await withBackoff<MiroBoard>(() =>
fetch('https://api.miro.com/v2/boards', {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}` },
})
);
Rate Limit Monitor
class MiroRateLimitMonitor {
private remaining = 100000;
private resetAt = 0;
private windowCreditsUsed = 0;
/** Call after every API response */
updateFromResponse(response: Response): void {
const limit = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Limit');
const remaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
const reset = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Reset');
if (remaining) this.remaining = parseInt(remaining, 10);
if (reset) this.resetAt = parseInt(reset, 10) * 1000;
if (limit) {
this.windowCreditsUsed = parseInt(limit, 10) - this.remaining;
}
}
/** Check before making a request */
shouldThrottle(): boolean {
return this.remaining < 1000 && Date.now() < this.resetAt;
}
/** How long to wait before next request */
getWaitMs(): number {
if (!this.shouldThrottle()) return 0;
return Math.max(0, this.resetAt - Date.now());
}
getStatus(): { remaining: number; usedPercent: number; resetsIn: number } {
return {
remaining: this.remaining,
usedPercent: Math.round((this.windowCreditsUsed / 100000) * 100),
resetsIn: Math.max(0, this.resetAt - Date.now()),
};
}
}
Request Queue (p-queue)
For high-throughput integrations, queue requests to stay within limits.
import PQueue from 'p-queue';
const monitor = new MiroRateLimitMonitor();
const miroQueue = new PQueue({
concurrency: 5, // Max parallel requests
interval: 1000, // Per second
intervalCap: 10, // Max 10 requests per second
timeout: 30000, // Per-request timeout
});
async function queuedMiroFetch(path: string, options?: RequestInit) {
// Pre-flight throttle check
const waitMs = monitor.getWaitMs();
if (waitMs > 0) {
console.warn(`[Miro] Throttling: waiting ${waitMs}ms for rate limit reset`);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, waitMs));
}
return miroQueue.add(async () => {
const response = await fetch(`https://api.miro.com${path}`, {
...options,
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
...options?.headers,
},
});
monitor.updateFromResponse(response);
if (!response.ok) {
if (response.status === 429) {
// Re-queue with backoff
const retryAfter = parseInt(response.headers.get('Retry-After') ?? '5', 10);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
return queuedMiroFetch(path, options); // Retry
}
throw new Error(`Miro ${response.status}: ${await response.text()}`);
}
return response.json();
});
}
Batch Operations to Reduce Credit Usage
// BAD: 50 individual GET requests = 50 credits
for (const id of itemIds) {
const item = await miroFetch(`/v2/boards/${boardId}/items/${id}`);
}
// GOOD: 1 paginated list request, filter client-side = fewer credits
const allItems = await miroFetch(`/v2/boards/${boardId}/items?limit=50`);
const wantedItems = allItems.data.filter(item => itemIds.includes(item.id));
// GOOD: Use type filter to reduce response size
const stickyNotes = await miroFetch(`/v2/boards/${boardId}/items?type=sticky_note&limit=50`);
Cost Estimation
function estimateCreditsPerMinute(
requestsPerMinute: number,
avgLevel: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
): { credits: number; percentOfLimit: number; safe: boolean } {
// Approximate credit costs (actual values from Miro docs)
const creditCost = { 1: 5, 2: 10, 3: 20, 4: 50 };
const credits = requestsPerMinute * creditCost[avgLevel];
return {
credits,
percentOfLimit: Math.round((credits / 100000) * 100),
safe: credits < 80000, // 80% safety margin
};
}
Error Handling
| Scenario | Detection | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Approaching limit | X-RateLimit-Remaining < 5000 |
Reduce request frequency |
| Rate limited | HTTP 429 | Backoff using Retry-After header |
| Sustained 429s | Multiple consecutive 429s | Pause all requests, wait for reset |
| Credit spike | Monitor shows >80% usage | Audit for unnecessary requests |
