(Resolved) What's wrong with the API rate limits?

[suprxf]

Everything got excited me to use Dhan’s API after going through the intro page. Coming from Zerodha APIs which charges 2000/month, these APIs seems lucrative.

Until…

I came across this,

Who puts per hour rate limit? 500 order placement per hour would mean 3000 request in a day, then what’s the meaning of 5000 orders/day?

I understand API rate limiting is important, but this is totally limiting the possibilities which API intents to do( replacing human actions quickly and in large quantity)

I would suggest a paid tier for higher limits. Is that a challenge?

Hello @suprxf

Welcome to Dhan Community!

The rate limits helps us keep APIs for free and are kept at liberal intervals. We do update this looking at consumption rates by users.

We do not intend to charge for Trading APIs. If your requirement needs higher rate limits, to send us request at api@dhan.co and we can increase the same.

Hello @saisaigraph

We have recently increased Hourly Rate Limits, for Non-Trading APIs from 1000 to 2000. This should help the rate limit issue that you were facing.

What is brokerage charge in API order ? is it same or free ?

[Hardik]

Hello @Anil_Kumar

Brokerage charges are same across all Dhan platforms, including APIs. However, there is not additional charges for APIs that you need to pay.
