Implementation of New API Rate Limiting by User ID on Public API V3 starting on 08/08/2024 at 05:00 PM (GMT+7) onwards

Modified on Thu, 1 Aug at 4:00 PM

To support the ongoing stability and sustainability of the API service, we are implementing a new rate-limiting feature by user ID. Please see the details below.

What’s Changing:

  • Rate limit by User ID: We will now enforce rate limits specific to each user ID. This enhancement is one of the solutions to ensure sustainability and fair access to our API resources while maintaining consistent performance for all users.

  • This update will be effective on 8 August 2024 at 05:00 PM (GMT+7) onwards.

Rate Limit

  • Each user ID will have a maximum number of API requests they can make within a second as shown in the table below. 

  • Regardless of the IP address used, all requests from any IP address made under a single user ID will be accumulated and subject to the rate limit of each endpoint specified.

  • A rate limit will reset every second: If the request rate exceeds the limit for any endpoints, the request will be blocked and will be unblocked in the next second.

Example

  • If the rate limit = 100 requests/second for this endpoint.

  • A user requests API for 150 requests/second.

  • The first 100 requests will be processed but the remaining 50 requests will be blocked until the next second. The rate limit will then reset, and the user can continue making requests until the new limit is reached.
