API Limitations and Behavior
The system has two types of limitations:
- Request intensity
- Pagination implementation attempts
Rate limits
BreakingBet API uses rate limits to protect services and ensure predictable data operation.
Limits apply to all data APIs and act independently of data type (prematch or live).
Current Limits
The values are provided as examples and may change in the future. Keep track of updates in this section
Access token
- up to 60 requests per minute
- up to 5 requests per second
User (user_id)
- up to 300 requests per minute total across all tokens
IP address
- up to 120 requests per minute
Limits are applied independently: exceeding any of them results in request rejection.
How API Communicates Rate Limit Excess
When rate limit is exceeded:
- the request will be rejected,
- API will return the appropriate HTTP error code,
Pagination
Currently, the API does not provide pagination capabilities and does not assume its implementation through intensive filter settings manipulation.
Need More Data?
If for some reason the volume of returned data is insufficient, please let us know and we will consider increasing the limits on your account.
