New API Rate: The API rate limit has been increased for account Tiers 1-3 Edit: Tier 3.
Old rate: 1 call every 5 seconds with a burst of 10.
New rate: 1 call every 3 seconds with a burst of 15.
The details, in terms of the count system for the rate limit, are as follows (changes in bold):
Max count before lockout: 15 (lockout is for 15 minutes)
Count increment for order add/cancel calls: +0
Count increment for ledger/trade history calls: +2
Count increment for all other calls: +1
Count reduced by 1 every: 3 seconds
thanks for update, I assume that things marked as
strong are the one updated.
I would suggest also to write a simple conclusion, what is safe (not considering burst etc.) interval for trades and for other calls.
trades/ledger calls: 6s (reduced from 10s)
add/cancel calls: 0s (didn't remember how it was before)
other calls: 3s (reduced from 5s)
correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe this is the way how most of (at least not only kraken specific) trading engines will process interval parameters.
Yes, the part marked as
strong indicates the change for Tier 3.
What would be "safe" is also as you indicated (but you can "burst" to a higher rate so long as your count doesn't go above 15). So, the "safe" levels are:
add/cancels calls: no API rate limit.
ledger/trades history calls: 1 call every 6 seconds.
other calls: 1 call every 3 seconds.
But of course doing both a ledger/trades call and an "other" call in a 6 second interval would advance your count, so wouldn't be sustainable indefinitely and not "safe" in this sense.
