Rate limits & keys
How much you can call, how much you can move per order, and how market makers get more.
Rate limits
- The public API allows 120 requests per minute per client. Above that it answers
429until the minute is over. - Prices are cached on our side (a few seconds for books and rates, 60 seconds for Wagyu quotes), so polling faster than every few seconds returns the same numbers.
- Poll orders every 10 seconds or slower.
Amount limits
| Product | Limit |
|---|---|
| Exchange BTC → XMR | $100 worth to 5 BTC per order |
| Exchange ETH → XMR | $100 worth to 180 ETH per order |
| Exchange SOL → XMR | $100 worth to 4,400 SOL per order |
| Exchange XMR → BTC | $100 worth to 650 XMR per order |
| Bridge deposit | no minimum, no maximum: credited automatically after 5 confirmations (10 from 200 XMR) |
| Redemption | every redemption gets its own Hyperliquid address; payouts above 250 XMR wait for a manual approval |
| Our bid | limited by a daily budget |
API keys
No key is needed for anything in the API reference. Keys for market makers and integrators, with higher rate limits and larger automatic deposit limits, are planned. Until then, contact support with your expected volume and we set you up directly.
