Rate limits control how many requests you can make per second to each StableFX endpoint. Limits apply per entity. Your entity ID is the unique identifier assigned to your organization when you register with Circle. StableFX counts requests with a sliding window algorithm. The window is one second long. If you send more requests than the limit allows in any rolling one-second span, the API returns an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response until your rate drops below the limit.
If you receive a 429 response, wait briefly and retry. Use exponential delay between retries. Sending requests at the same rate extends the throttle.
The following table lists the per-entity rate limits for all StableFX API endpoints. For examples of calling these endpoints, see the taker quickstart and maker quickstart. To set up the notifications endpoint, see Set up webhook notifications.
