API requests to create orders are subject to rate limiting. If the rate is exceeded, you’ll get an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response. Your API client code should be able to handle this response and retry the request after a short period.

Ordering rate limit

Orders are currently limited to 180 per minute. This includes requests that fail due to errors. This rate limit may change in the future.

​
Handling rate limits

If you receive a 429 Too Many Requests response you should wait a short period before retrying the request. We recommend waiting at least 5 seconds before retrying the request. If you continue to receive the same response you should wait longer before retrying.

Need a higher rate limit?

If you need a higher rate limit for your integration, please contact your account manager. We can discuss your requirements and provide a suitable rate limit for your use case.
