Rate Limits

All Venum services rate-limit per API key with a 60-second sliding window. Limits scale with your plan; see the dashboard for your current tier.

Rate Limit Response

When you exceed the limit, you'll receive 429 Too Many Requests:

{
  "error": "Rate limit exceeded",
  "limit": 60,
  "windowMs": 60000,
  "retryAfterSeconds": 12
}

The Retry-After header indicates when you can retry.

Tips

• Cache quotes client-side for 2-3 seconds — pool state doesn't change faster than that
• Use /v1/quote to browse routes, only call /v1/swap/build when the user confirms
• The /v1/swap submit endpoint has the lowest limit — don't retry failed submissions rapidly
