API Rate Limits & Errors

Auth and quota handling must be rock solid — especially on volatile tape days.

Status codes

401 unauthorized; 403 no market access; 404 unknown route or symbol; 429 quota exceeded; 5xx — backoff and retry.

429 handling

Read Retry-After, use exponential backoff with jitter. Throttle concurrent history backfills.

Debugging

Log request_id, route and headers. Console shows usage and request logs for spikes.

Client policy

Backoff on 429; stop blind retries on 401/403 and alert; log X-Request-Id + endpoint.
