Errors and Rate Limits

HTTPS Errors

HTTPS Errors are all request with response status code different than 200 (successful HTTP), must be considered as failure of a particular API call. You should expect additional JSON inside the body of the response with the error message encapsulated inside it as shown in the example.

We recommend, as best practice, to store all error messages somewhere along with request data for further manual review. We use the following error codes:

Error Code	Description
400 (Bad Request)	Something is wrong with your request, possibly due to invalid argument.
401 (Unauthorized)	Lack of valid authentication credentials, your API key is wrong/invalid.
403 (Forbidden)	The request was rejected due to a permission issue. Your API does not have enough privileges/credits to access this resource.
404 (No Data)	You requested specific single item that we don’t have at this moment.
429 (Too Many Requests)	Your API key rate limits have been exceeded.
500 (Internal Server Error)	An unexpected server error was encountered, we are working on fixing this.

Rate Limits

Crypto API’s professional service is subject to API call rate limits, based on your subscription plan tier. If you are interested in custom subscription tier for higher limits, reach out to us.

If you exceed these limits, your requests will return an HTTPS Status Code 429.

The rate limits are on call per day, per hour, per minute & per second in correspondence to available credits. Your daily credits are accounted for 24 hrs from the initial call to our API-Gateway.

Error Codes

CryptoAPI responses may result with an internal error code and description.
