At a glance

Implement Hootsuite rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns.

  • Works in 2 steps: Respect Retry-After Header → Queue-Based Scheduling
  • Handling rate limit errors
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Rate Limits, Instructions and Prerequisites, plus 5 more sections
  • Reaches platform.hootsuite.com; needs HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN

What it does

Hootsuite Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Hootsuite rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns. Use when handling rate limit errors, implementing retry logic, or optimizing API request throughput for Hootsuite. Trigger with phrases like "hootsuite rate limit", "hootsuite throttling", "hootsuite 429", "hootsuite retry", "hootsuite backoff".

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Handling rate limit errors
  • Implementing retry logic
  • Optimizing API request throughput for Hootsuite
  • With phrases like hootsuite rate limit

Example prompts

  • “hootsuite rate limit”
  • “hootsuite throttling”
  • “hootsuite 429”
  • “/hootsuite-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • A credential in HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Respect Retry-After Header
  2. Queue-Based Scheduling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • platform.hootsuite.com

    Also links to:

    • developer.hootsuite.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Hootsuite Rate Limits loads about 804 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~804

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hootsuite Rate Limits

Overview

Handle Hootsuite API rate limits. The API returns 429 Too Many Requests with Retry-After headers when limits are exceeded.

Rate Limits

EndpointLimitWindow
General APIVaries by planPer minute
Message scheduling~100/hourPer hour
Media upload~50/hourPer hour
Token refresh~10/hourPer hour

Instructions

Step 1: Respect Retry-After Header
typescript
async function rateLimitedRequest(url: string, options: RequestInit = {}) {
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    ...options,
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN}`, ...options.headers },
  });

  if (response.status === 429) {
    const retryAfter = parseInt(response.headers.get('Retry-After') || '60');
    console.log(`Rate limited. Retrying in ${retryAfter}s`);
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
    return rateLimitedRequest(url, options); // Retry
  }

  return response;
}
Step 2: Queue-Based Scheduling
typescript
import PQueue from 'p-queue';

const hootsuiteQueue = new PQueue({
  concurrency: 1,
  interval: 1000,
  intervalCap: 2, // 2 requests per second
});

async function queuedSchedule(profileId: string, text: string, time: Date) {
  return hootsuiteQueue.add(() =>
    fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/messages', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ text, socialProfileIds: [profileId], scheduledSendTime: time.toISOString() }),
    })
  );
}

Prerequisites

  • An approved API budget, header baseline, draft-only sandbox profile, and bounded queue.
  • Idempotency keys for mutations plus a reviewed recovery path for exhausted work.

Output

Return a rate-limit receipt with account scope, requested/limited/deferred counts, retry revision, idempotency state, queue health, draft/public assertion, and rollback reference. Exclude copy, media, handles, and credentials.

Error Handling

Stop for unknown profile, quota saturation, an attempt to replay a public mutation, or a public-post path during recovery. Defer or cancel work rather than bypassing approval or account scope.

Examples

scope=sandbox-brand; requested=100; limited=3; deferred=3; retry=v2; idempotent=pass; public_posts=0; rollback=limits-r7 proves bounded handling.
