Api Rate limits

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.

    There is a limit of 200 orders per min. Does retrieving current orders (not placing) and positions come under this limit too?

    @nvegupta 200 orders per minute is the order placement limit, not related to retrieving the orders or positions. However, there are a few other API rate limits; you may refer to the documentation here.
