Throttle limits for which all API's

mnkartik

Hi Team,

I have checked the forum for the throttle limits and found that the max limit is 3req/sec per IP for historical data feed. Is this limit applied for all the api's inclusive of the orders API too. Also kindly let know for what else API's is this rate applied.

If its the case kindly let know the solutions.

Thank you.

@mnkartik, All http requests have max cap of 3 requests per second.

@sujith per the discussions around the throttle limit, what I have observed is the cap is decided based on the remote IP address. Is it true or does it depend upon any other parameter like request_token / api_key / access_token.

@mnkartik Throttle limit depends on api_key as well.

Thanks @vivek, so apart from queuing to ensure only 3 requests are run / sec, there is no other solution right now, am I right.

@vivek U mean throttle limit can vary user to user ?

Vivek

@sameer Its not based on user but on app (api_key). So if requests coming from same api_key exceeds rate limit then we throw 429.
