Rate Limiting

---

Rate limiting is applied to control the volume of incoming requests or actions from a single user or source within a specified timeframe. It serves as a protective measure to prevent abuse, overload, or potential disruptions caused by excessive usage. This practice encourages responsible and efficient use of APIs, services, or applications, promoting a better user experience for all while minimizing the risk of performance degradation or downtime due to overwhelming traffic.

Rate Limits on various API's

End-point	Rate Limit
Quote	10 req/second
Historical candle	10 req/second
Order placement	10 req/second
All other endpoints	100 req/second

Warning

There are certain restrictions in place for order placement, with limits set at 200 orders per min or 10 orders per sec. As part of our risk management strategy at TIQS, we have implemented a policy where a single user/API key cannot exceed 3,000 orders in a single day. This restriction applies uniformly across all market segments and order types. Additionally there are checks in place by the exchange for order Modification to restrict any manipulation in the market because of which we only allow 25 modications per order. Should you exceed this limit, you will need to cancel the existing order and again place the order.

Note

If you think that you would exceed the above Rate Limits and your business requires a differential rate limit, feel free to drop an email at apisupport@tiqs.in
