Analytics API

The Analytics API retrieves call-limit data and the quotas that are set for the RESTful APIs and the legacy Trading API. Responses from calls made to getRateLimits and getUerRateLimits include a list of the applicable resources and the "call limit", or quota, that is set for each resource. In addition to quota information, the response also includes the number of remaining calls available before the limit is reached, the time remaining before the quota resets, and the length of the "time window" to which the quota applies. The getRateLimits and getUserRateLimits methods retrieve call-limit information for either an application or user, respectively, and each method must be called with an appropriate OAuth token. That is, getRateLimites requires an access token generated with a client credentials grant and getUserRateLimites requires an access token generated with an authorization code grant. For more information, see OAuth tokens . Users can analyze the response data to see whether or not a limit might be reached, and from that determine if any action needs to be taken (such as programmatically throttling their request rate). For more on call limits, see Compatible Application Chec

Plan the first integration safely

The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.

Authentication

OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.

Transport

HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.

Browser access

CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.

First-request sequence

  1. Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
  2. Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
  3. Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
  4. Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
  5. Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.

Questions to resolve before production

Pricing and quotas

Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.

Endpoint coverage

Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.

Reliability

Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.

Data and privacy

Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.

Versioning

Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.

Developer experience

Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
