What is the rate limit for getorder() and getorders()?

arnavsaxena

We wanted to understand what are the rate limits for getorder() and getorders()?

Also, what is the difference between the above two functions and when do you recommend us to use which one?

Hi @arnavsaxena,
All HTTP requests are limited to 3 per second.

getOrder(order_id) will return you lifecycle of an order in the system.
Once an order is placed it will go through many statuses like put_request_received, validation_pending, open_pending, open. All these states details are fetched using getOrder(order_id) API call.

getOrders() will return orderbook of the user.

For more information, you can take a look at documentation.

When you say all HTTP requests are limited to 3 per second, does it mean cumulatively or independently?

Also, just to clarify, placeorder() is limited to 5 per second right? As per your answer in https://kite.trade/forum/discussion/comment/5736

@arnavsaxena,
The rate limiting is cumulative.
Yes, you are right, only placeOrder() is limited to 5.
