Related to Rate Limits

nakrj
Hi,
Am aware of the rate limits imposed by KITE API. Ocassionally, my code can exceed the rate specified for Quote API Calls. ie. 1 request/seconds. Just want to know, whether the rate limits are hard or soft ? Will ocassional transgression be permitted or straight away I would encounter error ? Can someone from Zerodha confirm ?

    I dont get it, what do you mean by hard or soft? It is upto you to make it hard or soft, if you are using python then use try/except, or in golang if err != nil,,,, and then handle the error. Different languages has different ways to handle the error.

    But that is totally upto you to make an error hard or soft.

    @kakush30 Yes. I agree you did't get it.
    I am asking whether ocassional transgressions from the specified rate are allowed or not by the API Endpoint(s)? The query has nothing do with how/whether/If i handle the errors .

    No, these are hard rate limits.
