At ForexAPI, we understand the critical role our service plays in your operations. That's why we have a client-friendly policy regarding plan limits. If you have a paid plan and exceed your usage limit, rest assured, we will not lock you out of API access.
Each subscription plan has a designated query limit. These limits are set to ensure fair usage and optimal performance for all users.
We understand the need for flexibility. Therefore, in our paid plans, we offer a 10% sway on limits, giving you a buffer to manage occasional spikes in data requests.
While we accommodate brief surges, excessively high bursts of requests, especially those significantly exceeding your plan's limits, may be temporarily blocked to maintain service quality.
Data in the highest plan is updated every 60 seconds, so we advise aligning your queries with this interval for the most efficient use of the API.
If you have a specific use case, or if you plan to use the API across multiple devices, please contact us. We understand that the standard limits and throttling on an account level may not suit every scenario. Our team is ready to work with you to tailor a solution that fits your unique requirements. Remember, our API usage limits are not solely based on IP addresses or API tokens.
Familiarize yourself with the query limit of your subscription plan and plan your API calls accordingly.
Regularly check your query volume to stay within the allowed limit, considering the 10% sway.
Keeping your queries within the allocated limit ensures a smooth experience for you and other users.
If you frequently exceed your plan's limit, even with the sway allowance, it may be time to upgrade your subscription for higher capacity.
