Rate-Limits and Concurrent processing limits on Ophthalmic Payments API to PCSE (GOS6)

API Platform

Hi,

I’m looking for confirmation on rate limitations and concurrency for the opthalmic payments API in production (https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/ophthalmic-payments). Does it align with Reference guide - NHS England Digital referenced here?

Thanks

Hi @Connor_Smith

Thank you for your query.

The rate limits described in the reference guide are examples of the default limits that are typically applied to applications accessing NHS production APIs. However, the actual rate limits and concurrency settings may vary depending on the specific API.

Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm whether the Ophthalmic Payments API production rate limits align with those published in the reference documentation. This API is not onboarded through the Digital Onboarding Service, so we do not have visibility of its configuration.

For confirmation of the production rate limits and concurrency settings, please contact the Ophthalmic Payments API team directly at pcse.pmsegos@nhs.net.

If you do not receive a response from the team, please feel free to raise a request through our Customer Service Portal.

Thanks,

NHS England API Platform team
