Implement Juicebox rate limiting and backoff. Use when handling API quotas, implementing retry logic, or optimizing request throughput. Trigger with phrases like "juicebox rate limit", "juicebox quota", "juicebox throttling", "juicebox backoff".

Juicebox Rate Limits
Overview
Understand and implement proper rate limiting handling for Juicebox API.
Rate Limit Tiers
| Plan | Requests/Min | Requests/Day | Searches/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 10 | 100 | 500 |
| Pro | 60 | 5,000 | 25,000 |
| Enterprise | 300 | 50,000 | Unlimited |
Instructions
Step 1: Understand Rate Limit Headers
// Juicebox returns these headers with every response
interface RateLimitHeaders {
'x-ratelimit-limit': string; // Max requests per window
'x-ratelimit-remaining': string; // Remaining requests
'x-ratelimit-reset': string; // Unix timestamp when limit resets
'retry-after'?: string; // Seconds to wait (only on 429)
}
function parseRateLimitHeaders(headers: Headers) {
return {
limit: parseInt(headers.get('x-ratelimit-limit') || '0'),
remaining: parseInt(headers.get('x-ratelimit-remaining') || '0'),
reset: new Date(parseInt(headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset') || '0') * 1000),
retryAfter: parseInt(headers.get('retry-after') || '0')
};
}
Step 2: Implement Rate Limiter
// lib/rate-limiter.ts
export class RateLimiter {
private queue: Array<() => Promise<void>> = [];
private processing = false;
private lastRequestTime = 0;
private minInterval: number;
constructor(requestsPerMinute: number) {
this.minInterval = 60000 / requestsPerMinute;
}
async execute<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.queue.push(async () => {
try {
const result = await fn();
resolve(result);
} 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 now = Date.now();
const elapsed = now - this.lastRequestTime;
if (elapsed < this.minInterval) {
await sleep(this.minInterval - elapsed);
}
const task = this.queue.shift();
if (task) {
this.lastRequestTime = Date.now();
await task();
}
}
this.processing = false;
}
}
Step 3: Add Exponential Backoff
// lib/backoff.ts
export async function withExponentialBackoff<T>(
fn: () => Promise<T>,
options: {
maxRetries?: number;
baseDelay?: number;
maxDelay?: number;
} = {}
): Promise<T> {
const { maxRetries = 5, baseDelay = 1000, maxDelay = 60000 } = options;
let lastError: Error;
for (let attempt = 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
return await fn();
} catch (error: any) {
lastError = error;
if (error.code === 'RATE_LIMITED') {
const retryAfter = error.retryAfter || 0;
const backoffDelay = Math.min(
baseDelay * Math.pow(2, attempt),
maxDelay
);
const delay = Math.max(retryAfter * 1000, backoffDelay);
console.log(`Rate limited. Retrying in ${delay}ms (attempt ${attempt + 1}/${maxRetries})`);
await sleep(delay);
continue;
}
throw error;
}
}
throw lastError!;
}
Step 4: Implement Quota Tracking
// lib/quota-tracker.ts
export class QuotaTracker {
private dailyRequests = 0;
private dailyResetTime: Date;
constructor(private dailyLimit: number) {
this.dailyResetTime = this.getNextMidnight();
}
async checkQuota(): Promise<boolean> {
this.maybeResetDaily();
return this.dailyRequests < this.dailyLimit;
}
recordRequest() {
this.dailyRequests++;
}
getRemainingQuota(): number {
this.maybeResetDaily();
return this.dailyLimit - this.dailyRequests;
}
private maybeResetDaily() {
if (new Date() > this.dailyResetTime) {
this.dailyRequests = 0;
this.dailyResetTime = this.getNextMidnight();
}
}
}
Output
- Rate limiter with queue
- Exponential backoff handler
- Quota tracking system
- Header parsing utilities
Error Handling
| Scenario | Strategy |
|---|---|
| 429 with Retry-After | Wait exact duration |
| 429 without Retry-After | Exponential backoff |
| Approaching limit | Proactive throttling |
| Daily quota exhausted | Queue for next day |
