Beginners & Help / Kucoin API - Rate Limit Exceeded

« on: March 13, 2022, 07:39:14 PM »

Hi there,

I'm getting a rate limit exceeded warning from Kucoin:

RateLimitExceeded: kucoin GET https://openapi-v2.kucoin.com/api/v3/market/orderbook/level2?symbol=XXX-USDT 429 Too Many Requests {"code":"429000","msg":"Too Many Requests"}

I can't tell if it's affecting trading or not, and can't find any guidance on how to change the API request rate?

is it in the config.js under "bot" for either of these?:

"tick_interval": 30,
"interval_ticker_update": 25000,

Which are set at the default values.  Do I need to change either of these, or something else (also what are the units?)
Thanks in advance!
