Capture the 429 error when rate limit exceeds in a plan with IBM API Connect

Question & Answer


Question

Can I capture the 429 error when rate limit exceeds in the Assembly in IBM API Connect?

Answer

The 429 error when rate limit exceeds in a plan can not be caught in the assembly.
You should be able to run some code in a pre or post-response extension if the response status is 429.
You can capture it with an extension.

Here the documentation DataPower extensions for IBM API Connect

These Knowledge Center pages describe DataPower extensions:

If you do not want to create any extension policy for this but you want to implement it in the assembly, you can vote the following existing Request for Enhancement(RFE) with RFE ID=122476.
