LIMITS
General Info on Limits
- The following
intervalLettervalues for headers:- SECOND => S
- MINUTE => M
- HOUR => H
- DAY => D
intervalNumdescribes the amount of the interval. For example,intervalNum5 withintervalLetterM means "Every 5 minutes".- The
/api/v3/exchangeInforateLimitsarray contains objects related to the exchange'sRAW_REQUESTS,REQUEST_WEIGHT, andORDERSrate limits. These are further defined in theENUM definitionssection underRate limiters (rateLimitType). - Requests fail with HTTP status code 429 when you exceed the request rate limit.
IP Limits
- Every request will contain
X-MBX-USED-WEIGHT-(intervalNum)(intervalLetter)in the response headers which has the current used weight for the IP for all request rate limiters defined. - Each route has a
weightwhich determines for the number of requests each endpoint counts for. Heavier endpoints and endpoints that do operations on multiple symbols will have a heavierweight. - When a 429 is received, it's your obligation as an API to back off and not spam the API.
- Repeatedly violating rate limits and/or failing to back off after receiving 429s will result in an automated IP ban (HTTP status 418).
- IP bans are tracked and scale in duration for repeat offenders, from 2 minutes to 3 days.
- A
Retry-Afterheader is sent with a 418 or 429 responses and will give the number of seconds required to wait, in the case of a 429, to prevent a ban, or, in the case of a 418, until the ban is over. - The limits on the API are based on the IPs, not the API keys.
Unfilled Order Count
- Every successful order response will contain a
X-MBX-ORDER-COUNT-(intervalNum)(intervalLetter)header indicating how many orders you have placed for that interval.
To monitor this, refer toGET api/v3/rateLimit/order. - Rejected/unsuccessful orders are not guaranteed to have
X-MBX-ORDER-COUNT-**headers in the response. - If you have exceeded this, you will receive a 429 error with the
Retry-Afterheader. - Please note that if your orders are consistently filled by trades, you can continuously place orders on the API. For more information, please see Spot Unfilled Order Count Rules.
- The number of unfilled orders is tracked for each account.
