Check Rate Limit Status API

Check the current status of a named rate limiter: how many requests have been made in the current window, how many remain, when the window resets, and whether the limit is currently exceeded. Available as a simple REST API — POST your input, get structured JSON back. 1 credit per call, no rate limiting, works in any language with HTTP support.

How it works

POST a JSON object with your input data to /v1/orch-rate-limit-check. The API processes your request server-side using real computation (not mocked data) and returns a structured JSON response with your results and metadata including credits used and processing time.

Use cases

• Use Check Rate Limit Status in automated pipelines without installing a library
• Call Check Rate Limit Status from AI agent workflows via MCP or REST
• Integrate Check Rate Limit Status into serverless functions with zero dependencies
• Build Check Rate Limit Status functionality into any language that supports HTTP

Examples

Three real-world scenarios showing how developers use Check Rate Limit Status in production.

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "sample input data"}'

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "agent workflow input for check rate limit status"}'

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "production data payload"}'

Code examples

curl

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "your data here"}'

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"input": "your data here"}
)
result = response.json()
print(result["data"])

Node.js

const response = await fetch("https://slopshop.gg/v1/orch-rate-limit-check", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: "your data here" })
});
const { data } = await response.json();
console.log(data);

CLI

# Install the Slopshop CLI
npm install -g slopshop

# Set your API key
export SLOPSHOP_KEY=your_api_key

# Call orch-rate-limit-check
slop orch-rate-limit-check '{"input": "your data here"}'

Pricing

Credits are purchased in bundles starting at $1 for 1,000 credits. All compute APIs like this one use 1 credit per call — that's $0.001. See all pricing tiers.

Related APIs in Orchestrate

• Async Delay API — Wait for a specified number of milliseconds (max 30000ms) before returning. Useful for implementing rate limiting, respecting API cooldown windows, or adding intentional pacing between steps in an agent workflow.
• Retry API Call with Backoff API — Retry a Slopshop API call up to N times with configurable backoff strategy (linear, exponential, or fixed) and jitter. Specify which error codes should trigger a retry vs abort. Returns the first successful response or final error.
• Parallel API Calls API — Execute multiple Slopshop API calls concurrently and return all results when all complete (or when any fail, depending on mode). Each call is specified as slug + input. Returns results in input order with per-call timing.
• Race API Calls API — Execute multiple Slopshop API calls concurrently and return the result of whichever completes first. Remaining calls are cancelled. Useful for calling multiple redundant sources and taking the fastest successful response.
• API Call with Timeout API — Execute a Slopshop API call and fail with a timeout error if it does not complete within the specified milliseconds. Returns the result on success or a structured timeout error with elapsed time on failure.
