MEXC Broker Introduction

MEXC is committed to building crypto infrastructure, with API broker partners that provide valuable services being an essential part of the MEXC ecosystem. To reward the partners, MEXC now provides privileges for MEXC brokers, including trading rebates and marketing support.

1. API Broker

This includes copy trade platforms, trading bots, quantitative strategy platforms, or other asset management platforms with more than 500 people, etc. Users can authorize the API key to the API broker, and the API broker will send the trading orders containing the broker ID on behalf of the user and receive profit shares from fees.

LIMITS

There is rate limit for API access frequency, upon exceed client will get code 429: Too many requests. The account is used as the basic unit of speed limit for the endpoints that need to carry access keys. For endpoints that do not need to carry access keys, IP addresses are used as the basic unit of rate limiting.

Limits Description

  • According to the two modes of IP and UID (account) limit, each are independent.
  • Endpoints are marked according to IP or UID limit and their corresponding weight value.
  • Each endpoint with IP limits has an independent 500 every 10 second limit.
  • Each endpoint with UID limits has an independent 500 every 10 second limit.

Limits Error

  • When a 429 is received, it’s your obligation as an API to back off and not spam the API.
  • Repeatedly violating rate limits and/or failing to back off after receiving 429s will result in an automated IP ban .
  • IP bans are tracked and scale in duration for repeat offenders, from 2 minutes to 3 days.
  • A Retry-After header is sent with a 418 or 429 responses and will give the number of seconds required to wait, in the case of a 429, to prevent a ban, or, in the case of a 418, until the ban is over.

Websocket Limits

  • The Websocket limits is: 100times/s.
  • A connection that goes beyond the limit will be disconnected; IPs that are repeatedly disconnected may be banned.
  • A single connection can listen to a maximum of 30 streams.
