Rate Limits

Desks cannot scale their rate limit capacity by using multiple Paradigm API Keys.

DRFQ

Most RESToverHTTP requests are rate limited to 500 requests per second per desk across all API Keys.

Requests to [POST] /v1/drfq/rfqs have a rate limit of 1 request per 3 seconds.

These limits are not configurable per desk.

OB

Most RESToverHTTP requests are rate limited to 500 requests per second per desk across all API Keys. Unfiltered requests to the [DELETE] /v1/ob/quotes endpoint have a 5 requests per 10 seconds rate limit.

Requests to [POST] /v1/ob/rfqs have a rate limit of 1 request per 3 seconds.

These limits are not configurable per desk.

FSPD

RESToverHTTP requests are rate limited per desk and type of request. [GET] requests are limited to 100 requests per second. [POST] / [PATCH] / [DELETE] requests are limited to 10 requests per second. Paradigm is able to configure these limits upon request by the user.
