name: Idle Finance API Rate Limits
description: Idle Finance does not publicly document specific rate limit thresholds for their REST API. Access is granted via Bearer token by request. The underlying protocol rebalances yield allocations on a cadence that reflects practical data freshness boundaries for API consumers.
