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.

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.

Please note that go.coinmetro.com and the mobile app call the same API, which means that they will count towards your API limits.

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.

Any endpoint limits that aren't described are limited to 5000 requests per 300 seconds.

You may request to increase your API limits by contacting our 24/7 customer support team either by live chat on our website or by emailing us at hello@coinmetro.com.

Once received, we will review your request manually and may approve or deny it.

Please note that customer support can increase your limits but cannot remove them entirely. To be considered for unlimited API limit access, you must be trading at least 12 million EUR or equivalent volume every month on Coinmetro.
