API | question about the request limits, especially the “ticker” call

[ad_1]

Hi,

From the [api docs](https://www.bitstamp.net/api/) (V2):

>REQUEST LIMITS
>
>Do not make more than 600 requests per 10 minutes or we will ban your IP address. For real time data

​

That mean I can call the “ticker” method once every minute.

In a service I created I’m actually calling the XRPEUR ticker every minute. It’s ok.

Now, I need to extend it to have also XRPUSD and XRPBTC or ETHBTC.

1. Does that mean I can only update all the currency pairs every 3 or 4 minutes?
2. I also use the “buy market order” method and I never had a problem calling the API, I think the request limit is intended for “every” method, right ? Is the request limits applied for the “private API” methods?

If it is better to open a ticket I’ll do, but I think the reply can be usefull also for others.

​

Thanks

Alex
