Rate Limit Headers
Every API response includes headers to help you track your rate limit status:Example Response Headers
Handling Rate Limits
When you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a429 Too Many Requests response:
Best Practices
Implement Exponential Backoff
Implement Exponential Backoff
When you receive a 429 response, wait before retrying. Use exponential backoff to gradually increase wait times:
Cache Responses
Cache Responses
Cache responses when possible to reduce API calls. Balance and asset data typically doesn’t change every second.
Batch Requests
Batch Requests
If you need multiple pieces of data, consider if there’s a single endpoint that can provide all the information you need instead of making multiple requests.
