Does Fivetran Use API Throttling?

Question

How does Fivetran use Stripe's API? Does Fivetran have any throttling to make sure limits aren't hit?

Environment

Stripe

Answer

Stripe allows for 100 read and 100 write operations per second. If Fivetran hits a limit, we then delay our sync. Our connector is optimized to pull the maximum number of records per API call making each call as efficient as possible.

We recommend starting the initial sync during off-peak hours (for example, on a weekend) since the historical sync will use the most API calls to get the Stripe data to your destination.
