Affiliate Rate Limits - Kraken Developers

API key request counter

Each authenticated GET /affiliate/v1/daily-activity request adds 1 to its Kraken API key request counter. Each API key has a separate counter. These limits apply to this endpoint:

Account tier	Maximum counter	Counter decay
Starter	30	2 every 3 seconds
Intermediate	50	2 every second
Pro	60	16 every second

Requests that exceed the maximum are rejected until the counter decays. Back off before retrying a rate-limited request.

Polling

A trade day is not sealed. Late events rewrite that day’s rows. Use revision (day variant, first page) to see whether your figures moved, then re-check the trailing 35 days. Hourly or daily polling is enough. Sub-minute polling will not see new figures. Walk pages with cursor rather than retrying the same request.
