Timeouts

The quote to bind API uses Amazon API Gateway under the hood, and as a result we're subject to API Gateway's 30 second timeout limit on requests.

Since many requests involve pulling and aggregating data from a large number of data sources, you may hit the 30 second timeout before receiving a response.

We cache a lot of this information so it's immediately available on subsequent requests however, so we recommend making your client code watch for timeouts, and automatically retrying when they occur.

When a timeout happens, you will receive an HTTP 503 response code, with the Content-Type header set to application/json, and the following response body:

{
  "message": "Service Unavailable"
}
