API Calling

RDS supports Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs, allowing you to call APIs using HTTPS. For details about API calling, see Calling APIs.

An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. For the endpoints of all services, see Regions and Endpoints.

A request throttling policy is used to limit the number of times that an API can be called within a specific time period. If there are too many API requests within a specific time period, the requests may fail.

Standard request throttling policy: 60 calls per minute for a single user and 8,000 calls per minute for an API.
