Hi all,
I'm about to start playing around with the API using the free delayed app key. I've written some code to interact with the API mainly using the "listMarketBook" and "listMarketCatalogue" methods to gather some data, do some analysis and test out a few algorithms/strategies etc..
Anyway before I get started I just wanted to check what the data access limits are and if they are exceeded is there any associated charge? or does the API just deny you access? I remember with the old API there were some horror stories of people accidentally racking up thousands of pounds worth of bills for over accessing the data, is this still possible with API-NG?
So far the limits I am aware of are..
1) Must not exceed 200 points per request.
2) Calls to listMarketBook should be made up to a maximum of 5 times per second to a single marketId.
3) No more than 1000 bets per hour (This one I'm not so worried about I won't be placing any bets yet)
So in theory could I request listMarketBook 5 times per second on 100 different markets as long as each individual request doesn't exceed the 200 points limit?
I'm probably unlikely to do this but its more a case of if I were to accidentally request a load of data I want to make sure I won't be hit with a huge bill to pay!
All help very much appreciated.
Regards,
Billy.
