Admin API limits and quotas
The following limits and quotas apply to the Admin API, in addition to the
shared limits and quotas for all
Google Analytics API usage. Quota limits might be throttled for projects that
violate the Google Analytics Terms of
Service.
| Quota Name |
Limit |
| Requests per minute |
1,200 |
| Requests per minute per user |
600 |
| Writes per minute |
600 |
| Writes per minute per user |
180 |
Each request to the Google Analytics Admin API consumes Requests per minute and Requests
per minute per user quotas. A request to any method that alters the Google
Analytics account configuration in any way (create, patch, delete,
archive, update methods) also consumes Writes per minute and Writes per
minute per user quotas.
For more information on how to limit the total number of API requests per user, see Capping API usage.
