Fondo Rate Limits Skill

Fondo Rate Limits

Overview

Fondo itself has no API rate limits (it's a managed service). But if you build parallel integrations to the same providers Fondo uses (Gusto, QuickBooks, Plaid, Stripe), you share rate limits.

Provider Rate Limits

| Provider | Rate Limit | Scope | |----------|-----------|-------| | Gusto API | 50 requests/min | Per access token | | QuickBooks Online | 500 requests/min, 10 concurrent | Per realm | | Plaid | 100 requests/min | Per client_id | | Stripe | 100 reads/sec, 200 writes/sec | Per API key | | Mercury API | 50 requests/min | Per API key |

Instructions

Avoid Conflicting with Fondo Syncs

// If you also call Gusto API directly, coordinate with Fondo's sync schedule
// Fondo typically syncs payroll data daily at midnight UTC
// Schedule your own Gusto API calls outside this window

import PQueue from 'p-queue';

const gustoQueue = new PQueue({
  concurrency: 2,
  interval: 60_000,
  intervalCap: 40,  // Stay under 50/min to leave room for Fondo
});
