Webex Calling administration APIs and scopes

Verified 2026-09-04 · 4 claims · sources tier 2

Stub. This topic has 4 verified claims and no published article. The claims below are exactly what the corpus holds today.

This topic covers Webex Calling administration APIs and scopes, along with their authentication models and rate limits. The claims detail three authentication models supported by Webex APIs and list the specific OAuth scopes published for Webex Calling administration. Additionally, Cisco publishes a platform rate limit of around 300 requests per minute for most Webex REST APIs with some exceptions, and it states that its rate-limiting policies are too complex to document exactly. The claims also infer that this 300 requests per minute figure likely applies to the Calling administration APIs due to shared documentation boilerplate, though no Calling-specific rate limit is separately published.

2Cisco publishes 1 concrete platform rate limit: most Webex REST APIs enforce a limit of around 300 requests per minute, with the people and messages APIs given a higher, dynamically adjusted quota, and Cisco states its rate-limiting policies are too complex to document exactly.

3The 300 requests per minute figure is likely to apply to the Webex Calling administration APIs, because the rate limiting section is shared boilerplate across the developer portal's documentation trees, but no Calling-specific rate limit is separately published.
