name: Trading 212 API Rate Limits
description: >-
  All Trading 212 API endpoints are subject to per-account rate limits,
  regardless of which API key or IP address is used. The system uses a
  burst-allowance model: you may consume your full quota rapidly (e.g., 50
  requests in the first 5 seconds of a 1-minute window) or distribute them
  evenly. Every API response includes rate-limit headers so clients can track
  remaining quota and reset timing.

headers:
  - name: x-ratelimit-limit
    description: Total number of requests allowed in the current period
  - name: x-ratelimit-period
    description: Duration of the rate-limit window in seconds
  - name: x-ratelimit-remaining
    description: Number of requests remaining in the current period
  - name: x-ratelimit-reset
    description: Unix timestamp indicating when the rate-limit counter resets
  - name: x-ratelimit-used
    description: Number of requests already consumed in the current period
model: burst-allowance
note: >-
  Limits are applied on a per-account basis. Burst usage (consuming the full
  quota quickly) is permitted; clients must then wait for the reset window.
