Rate Limit Header Parser

Parse and visualize X-RateLimit headers from raw HTTP API responses. Paste response headers to instantly see your quota state — limit, remaining, used, and reset time — displayed as color-coded progress meters. Supports GitHub, OpenAI, Twitter/X, Shopify, and IETF standard rate limit headers.

How to Use Rate Limit Header Parser

How to Use the Rate Limit Header Parser

Step 1: Copy Your HTTP Response Headers

Copy the raw response headers from an API call. You can get these from:

  • Browser DevTools → Network tab → select a request → Response Headers section
  • curl — run curl -I https://api.example.com/endpoint or use -v flag
  • Postman / Insomnia — copy the response headers panel
  • Code — log the headers from your HTTP client (axios, fetch, requests, etc.)

Step 2: Paste into the Input

Paste the raw header text into the left textarea. Include the HTTP status line if present — it will be ignored. The parser accepts any format where each header is on its own line as Name: Value.

Step 3: Use Quick Examples

Click one of the example buttons to load a real-world header set:

  • GitHub API — standard X-RateLimit with resource and used fields
  • OpenAI API — dual-dimension limits (requests and tokens)
  • Twitter/X — X-Rate-Limit style with Unix reset timestamp
  • IETF Draft — RateLimit standard with relative reset seconds

Step 4: Read the Visual Results

The right panel shows:

  • Provider badge — auto-detected API provider (GitHub, OpenAI, etc.)
  • Quota meter per dimension — a progress bar colored green (healthy), amber (caution at 70%+), or red (critical at 90%+)
  • Limit / Remaining / Used — the three key quota values
  • Resets in — time until the quota window resets, calculated from the reset timestamp or relative seconds
  • Retry-After — shown as a warning card if present, indicating how long to wait before retrying
  • Parsed Headers — a scrollable table of all key-value pairs found in the input

Supported Header Formats

  • X-RateLimit-Limit / X-RateLimit-Remaining / X-RateLimit-Reset / X-RateLimit-Used (GitHub, Cloudflare, generic)
  • X-Rate-Limit-Limit / X-Rate-Limit-Remaining / X-Rate-Limit-Reset (Twitter/X)
  • x-ratelimit-limit-requests / x-ratelimit-remaining-requests / x-ratelimit-reset-requests (OpenAI requests)
  • x-ratelimit-limit-tokens / x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens / x-ratelimit-reset-tokens (OpenAI tokens)
  • RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset (IETF draft standard)
  • X-Shopify-Shop-Api-Call-Limit (format: "used/limit", e.g., "32/40")
  • Retry-After (seconds or HTTP-date)
