Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and prevent abuse, the Okto SDK API enforces rate limits on requests.

Production Rate Limits

In the production environment, a rate limit is applied to all POST orders.

  • Request Limit: 1,500 API calls per 5-minute window
  • Applies to: All POST operations
  • Reset Period: Every 5 minutes

Error Response

When you exceed the rate limit, you'll receive the following error response:

{
    "status": "error",
    "error": {
        "code": 429,
        "errorCode": "ER-TECH-0100",
        "message": "Rate Limit Exceeded",
        "trace_id": "678a3f1e00000000ced7e3483989507c"
    }
}

As per industry standards, a retry-after response header will be included when a rate-exceeded error is encountered. The value of this header indicates the time (in seconds) after which the rate limit restriction will expire. You can retry your request after this period.

  • POST /s2s/api/v1/rawtransaction/execute/{TW_USER_ID}

How Rate Limiting Works

The five-minute interval starts from the first API request each day.

For example:

  • If the first request is sent at 12:02 am, the rate limit applies from 12:02 am to 12:07 am
  • A maximum of 1,500 requests can be made within this period.
  • The interval resets every five minutes.

Sandbox Environment

The Sandbox environment has different rate limits to facilitate testing and development.

Detailed Sandbox environment rate limits will be documented soon. Stay tuned for updates.
