What Is API Rate Limit

To protect platform stability, the Finger KYC API may limit request frequency when bursts, repeated retries, abnormal traffic, or misuse are detected.

What rate limiting means

To protect platform stability, the Finger KYC API may apply request frequency limits, also known as rate limits.

Why rate limits can be triggered

Common reasons include a large number of requests in a short time, abnormal traffic, repeated requests, or system misuse.

  • Large bursts of requests in a short period
  • Abnormal traffic
  • Repeated requests
  • System abuse

How to avoid rate limits

It is recommended to control request frequency, use a queueing mechanism, increase retry intervals, and avoid infinite retry loops.

  • Control request frequency
  • Use a queue mechanism
  • Increase retry intervals
  • Avoid infinite retries
