Subtask 1-3: Research - Authentication, Rate Limits, and Model Descriptions
Overview
This document summarizes research findings from official Yandex Market Partner API documentation regarding authentication methods, rate limits, and business model descriptions (FBY/FBS/DBS/Express).
Research Date: 2025-02-10 Sources: Official Yandex Market Partner API Documentation
1. Authentication
Current Status (2025)
API-Key is the RECOMMENDED and CURRENT authentication method
According to official Yandex Market documentation:
"Чтобы работать с Маркетом по API, нужно получить API-Key-токен. Мы не рекомендуем использовать OAuth-токен, так как этот способ авторизации устарел."
Translation: "To work with Market through API, you need to obtain an API-Key token. We do not recommend using OAuth-token, as this authorization method is deprecated."
Authentication Methods Comparison
| Feature | API-Key (Recommended) | OAuth (Deprecated) |
|---|---|---|
| Binding | Bound to the cabinet where token was created | Bound to the user who created the token |
| How to Get | In the seller cabinet on Market | Via OAuth application |
| Access to Shops | All shops in the cabinet | Only shops the user has access to |
| Granular Access Control | ✅ Yes - can restrict to specific method groups | ❌ No |
| Header | Api-Key | Authorization |
| Token Lifetime | Unlimited | 1 year |
| Status | ✅ Current (2025) | ❌ Deprecated since Oct 2024 |
How to Transmit API-Key
Header: Api-Key
Example:
Api-Key: your-api-key-here
Migration Timeline
- October 2024: Yandex Market switched from OAuth 2.0 to API-Key based authorization
- 2025: OAuth is considered deprecated; all new integrations should use API-Key
2. Rate Limits
Types of Limits
According to official limits documentation, there are three types of rate limits:
A. Global Limits (Глобальные ограничения)
- Limit: Maximum 2 parallel requests per login
- Response on Exceed: HTTP
420 Enhance Your Calm - Message:
"Hit rate limit of 2 parallel requests"
B. Resource Limits (Ресурсные ограничения)
- Scope: Limits on request volume to the same resource over a prolonged period (e.g., daily)
- Calculation: Based on:
- Number of requests (for most resources)
- Total data transferred/returned (for some resources, calculated individually per shop/partner)
- Recalculation: With a delay of 2-8 hours
- Response Headers:
X-RateLimit-Resource-Limit: Numeric limit valueX-RateLimit-Resource-Until: Date until limit applies (RFC822 format)X-RateLimit-Resource-Remaining: Remaining request volume
- Response on Exceed: HTTP
420 Enhance Your Calmwith message like:Hit rate limit of 10 000 points per 1 day for resource /regions/{regionId}.json
C. Functional Limits (Функциональные ограничения)
- Scope: Limits on data transmitted or returned per single request
- Common Limit: Maximum request body size = 512 KB
- Response on Exceed: HTTP
400 Bad Request
Specific Limits Known
Based on web research and official docs:
| Resource Type | Limit |
|---|---|
| Products per minute | Up to 100,000 products per minute (updated March 1, 2024) |
| Products per request | Maximum 500 products per single request |
| Daily requests (FBS/FBY/Express) | Up to 100,000 requests per day |
| Affiliate Network API | Not exceed 5 requests per second |
Best Practices
- Plan batch calls and task queues
- Implement retry logic (exponential backoff)
- Monitor headers (
X-RateLimit-*) to track quota usage - Split large requests if body exceeds 512 KB
- Use monitoring dashboards for synchronization tracking
