The FMTData API Infrastructure is designed to handle high volumes of data across multiple customers across the globe. As such, we enforce API Rate Limits per company.

Rate Limits are restrictions that our API imposes on the number of times that a company can access their data at a specific time.

Rate limits ensure that a consistent experience is maintained for all clients using the API, allowing every customer to have the opportunity to retrieve their data whilst minimising down-time.

Our Rate Limits are static and cannot be increased. The Rate Limits are;

• 600 Requests every 24 hours.
• 60 Requests Per Hour
• 6 Requests per Minute

Our API uses a time-based reset for rate limits. When you make a request, you will gain that request back one hour after that request you make. For example, if you make a request 11:49, and 11:59, you will need to wait until 12:49 to get your first request back, and 12:59.

If you make too many API calls within a certain period, you will receive HTTP Error 429; "Too Many Requests".
