Rate Limits

Security Best Practices
Never share your API keys — Treat them like passwords
Use IP whitelisting — Restrict API access to known IP addresses
Set permissions carefully — Only enable the permissions you need (read-only, trading, withdrawal)
Use separate keys — Create different API keys for different applications
Monitor activity — Regularly review your API key usage and revoke unused keys
Terms of Use
API usage is subject to our Terms of Service. Specifically:
Unauthorized automated trading systems require prior written consent
Scraping or extracting data beyond API-provided endpoints is prohibited
Commercial redistribution of market data requires written authorization
We reserve the right to revoke API access at any time for abuse or Terms violations
