Api Rate limits

meeashok · September 2020

Hey Team,

Is there a limit on combined API calls?

According to the thread (https://kite.trade/forum/discussion/2760/no-of-request-to-api), most APIs have a limit of 10req/sec.

Can I make 10 req/sec to get_orders, positions, margin, etc APIs in parallel?

Thanks,
Ashok

The Kite Connect restriction is all get calls must be less than 10 requests/second.

It is not a restriction per API call. It is a combined count.

Hey Sujith,

In the thread (https://kite.trade/forum/discussion/2760/no-of-request-to-api), historical data API has a limit 3req/sec.

What does it mean, like 10 is a global limit and there are separate limits for APIs?

Yes, combined requests from a unique API key shouldn't exceed 10 req/sec.

Howdy, Stranger!
