Rate limit - API Vs Account

ArthaKalpa
Dear Zerodha, @sujith
The rate limits
5 ops
200 opm
2000 opd
Do these limits apply for a specific Zerodha account or a specific api (api-key/secret)?
In other words, if the same api is managing more Zerodha accounts, say 2, will all the limits increase by 2 for the api, though remaining the same at account level?

    The latest rate limits are mentioned here.

    All the rate limits are api_key based.
    But the 2000 order limit per day is for all the Zerodha accounts across all the platforms, it has nothing to do with Kite Connect APIs.

    Thanks for the quick reply @sujith
    So, what is the mechanism to handle multiple clients? How do businesses which have multiple hundreds/thousands of clients scale with this restriction?
  • sujith
    The 2000 order limit will still hold true for all the accounts, it is restricted across the platform. There will be a change in the API rate limits for the approved platforms.
    You will have to check with the compliance team by writing to kiteconnect(at)zerodha.com with the product description and get it approved. They will let you know how to go further after approval.
