Beeminder limited IFTTT datapoints to 150 a day last I heard. Is there a similar limit on the number of daily datapoints I can enter through the API for a goal? ---

There isn’t an explicit limit set (confidence level: Adam told me so), though I am assured that at some point super high API traffic will result in support running around with our hair on fire. 🙂 Will update if someone contradicts Adam. ---

Ok great. From these posts it looks like the limit applies to both IFTTT and Zapier: > [@beemind.me extra integrations](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beemind-me-extra-integrations/992/34): > > ah that makes sense. on the beeminder end there’s a limit of 150 datapoints added/day, instapaper could easily have the same problem. good to know! > [@The beeminder graph generation doesn't like large numbers of datapoints](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/the-beeminder-graph-generation-doesnt-like-large-numbers-of-datapoints/2074/2): > > Isn’t there a limit of 150 datapoints per day? Here’s what I googled quickly: [beemind.me extra integrations](http://forum.beeminder.com/t/beemind-me-extra-integrations/992/34) ---

I was under the impression that was a IFTTT thing, but now I’ll go fishing in the source. 🙂 ---

Mea culpa. The limit is 150 datapoints per day per goal. I’m not 100% sure why rubymine doesn’t find 150 in that file when I search… ---

Hmm. Does changing a datapoint count towards that 150? ---

It does not look like it. It does a test on the total number of datapoints on that goal with the daystamp. ---

Note: we’re increasing the limit to the number of datapoints on a particular day.
