An API rate limit is the limit of requests or calls you can make to the Coinmetro API. If you exceed the current API limits for your account, you will receive a "too many requests" error.
Why does Coinmetro have API rate limits?
As a common practice for APIs, rate limits are put into place for various reasons, but most importantly they help to prevent disruptions or performance issues to our API service and ensure that everyone has fair access to the Coinmetro platform.
For more information about the Coinmetro API, please visit our Help Center article: How to Use Coinmetro's Trading API.
REST API Limits
Please note that go.coinmetro.com and the mobile app call the same API, which means that they will count towards your API limits.
General limit
You can make at most 500 calls every 10 seconds. Please note that this general limit supersedes all other API limits. When reaching it, you'll receive a 429 error and have to wait 10 seconds to try again.
