Rate Limits
To protect the server and prevent malicious attacks, all interfaces that need to send requests to the Tiger Brokers OpenAPI server have frequency limitations.
The interfaces in the API are divided into low-frequency interfaces, medium-frequency interfaces, and high-frequency interfaces. Low-frequency interfaces are limited to 10 times/minute, medium-frequency interfaces are limited to 60 times/minute, and high-frequency interfaces are limited to 120 times/minute. Requests that exceed the frequency limit will be rejected by the server. The counting cycle is a continuous 60-second rolling window.
The error message triggered by rate limiting is as follows:
code=4 msg=rate limit error(current limiting interface:<interface_name>, up to 60 times per minute)CAUTION
- If the interface request frequency is too high and continues to make requests persistently, the account may be automatically added to the blacklist by the system. Accounts added to the blacklist will not be able to continue making interface calls.
- If you have high-frequency interface call requirements, you can communicate with us separately here
