description: >-
  Raydium's public REST API at api-v3.raydium.io is operated on a fair-use basis without
  published per-key limits. Empirically responses are cached at the edge and consumers should
  respect a soft limit of around 10 requests per second per IP.
notes: Raydium does not publish a contractual rate limit; figures are best-effort.
