Rate Limits
To ensure fair access and platform stability, the Neony DEX API enforces rate limits on all endpoints. Exceeding these limits will result in a 429 Too Many Requests response.
Global Limits
| Scope | Limit |
|---|---|
| Per API key | To be documented |
| Per IP address | To be documented |
Per-Endpoint Limits
Some endpoints have stricter limits due to their computational cost:
| Endpoint | Limit |
|---|---|
| Order placement | To be documented |
| Order cancellation | To be documented |
| Market data | To be documented |
Handling HTTP 429
When you receive a 429 response:
- Read the
Retry-Afterheader — it indicates how many seconds to wait before retrying. - Back off exponentially — if no header is present, start with a short delay and double it on each subsequent
429. - Do not retry immediately — hammering the API after a 429 will extend your cooldown period.
