Rate Limits

to ensure platform stability and fair usage, the forkast enforces the following rate limits global rate limits all api functions are subject to a global rate limit of 1,000 requests per minute per api key if this limit is exceeded, additional requests may be throttled or rejected until the rate window resets function specific rate limits the following endpoints have additional per second limits place single order – 30 requests per second cancel single order – 30 requests per second place bulk order – 8 requests per second cancel by market id – 5 requests per second these limits apply independently of the global per minute limit rate limit errors if a rate limit is exceeded, the api will return an http 429 (too many requests) response we recommend implementing the following best practices respect retry after headers when provided implement exponential backoff for retries avoid aggressive retry loops monitor response codes to proactively manage request pacing proper rate limit handling will ensure uninterrupted access and optimal trading performance
