API Rate Limits

1. What Are Rate Limits

Rate limits control how frequently you can make API requests to SMM.BZ in a given time window. They protect platform stability and ensure fair access for all users.

2. Default Limits

• Order placement — 60 requests per minute per API key.
• Order status checks — 120 requests per minute per API key.
• Balance checks — 30 requests per minute per API key.
• Service list — 10 requests per hour (response is cached; use it once on startup).

3. Rate Limit Headers

Every API response includes headers so you can track your remaining quota:

• X-RateLimit-Limit — your limit per window
• X-RateLimit-Remaining — requests remaining
• X-RateLimit-Reset — Unix timestamp when the window resets

4. Handling 429 Errors

If you exceed your limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Implement exponential backoff: wait 1s, then 2s, then 4s before retrying.

5. Higher Limits

Enterprise and Growth plan users can request higher rate limits. Contact support with your use case.
