Consider the following product configuration limits as you build, manage, and review your API program implementation. We’ve designed the Apigee product for stability and performance when configured within these limits. Customers are responsible for tracking and ensuring they stay within the configuration limits (see the "How to check current usage" column below). Customers exceeding the limits may experience one or more of these types of symptoms: high API latencies, low API throughput, and failing API calls. Customers filing support cases related to issues caused by limit exceptions may be asked to make necessary modifications to their configuration.
Limits may or may not be enforced automatically (see the "Currently enforced?" column below). As and when we automate limit enforcement for a limit currently not enforced, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify affected customers so they can take corrective actions in advance of such enforcement.
One set of configuration limits apply to both Apigee Public Cloud and Private Cloud (on-premises) products, and another set applies to Edge Microgateway. These limits are unrelated to your plan entitlements. Some features, noted in this topic, are available only in Apigee Public Cloud.

System |

| API proxy request URL size | 7 KB | Yes | Check usage |
| Request header size | 25 KB | Yes | Check usage |
| Response header size | 25 KB | Yes | Check usage |
Request/response size (for both non-streamed and streamed requests) A common API pattern is to fetch large amounts of data, such as images, documents, or plain text/JSON. For data sizes greater than 10 MB, Apigee recommends a signed URLs pattern. Other Google products like GCS (Google Cloud Storage) provide reference implementations using this pattern. |
