# Affiliate Rate Limits

> API key request counter and polling cadence for the Affiliate REST API

## 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.
