ELUUP AI API Rate Limits

ELUUP AI enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and platform stability. Limits vary by subscription plan and apply to REST API calls. Server-Sent Event (SSE) streams for signals do not count toward your REST rate limit.

Rate Limits by Plan

Plan	Requests per Minute	Notes
Free	60	Suitable for prototyping and personal dashboards.
Pro	300	Built for active traders running multiple agents.
Enterprise	Custom	Contact sales for dedicated throughput and higher concurrency.

Upgrading your plan increases the limit immediately. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

Rate Limit Headers

Every REST API response includes headers that show your current usage. Inspect these to decide when to back off.

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum requests allowed per minute for your plan.
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Number of requests remaining in the current window.
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when the rate limit window resets.

Example Response Headers

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 287
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1722500000

429 Rate Limited Response

When you exceed your limit, the API returns 429 with a JSON body and the same headers.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limited",
    "message": "You have exceeded the rate limit. Please retry after 42 seconds."
  }
}

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1722500042

Best Practices

Cache Signals Locally

Store the latest signal data in your application state instead of polling on every UI refresh.

Use SSE for Real-Time

Subscribe to GET /signals/stream for live updates. SSE streams do not count toward REST rate limits.

Respect Headers

Read X-RateLimit-Remaining and pause requests before you hit zero.

Back Off on 429

Wait until X-RateLimit-Reset before retrying, or use exponential backoff with jitter.

Polling vs. Streaming Example

import requests, time

while True:
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.eluup.ai/v1/signals",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
    )
    data = resp.json()
    print("Remaining:", resp.headers.get("X-RateLimit-Remaining"))
    time.sleep(5)  # 12 req/min -- safe for Pro

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    "https://api.eluup.ai/v1/signals/stream",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    stream=True
)
for line in resp.iter_lines():
    if line:
        print(line.decode("utf-8"))

For production trading integrations, use the SSE signal stream to receive buy and sell signals in real time without consuming your REST quota.
