Rate Limits

The CoinStats API uses a credit-based system for rate limiting. Different endpoints consume different amounts of credits based on the complexity and data requirements of the request.

Credit System

Each API request consumes a specific number of credits:

Endpoint Category	Credit Cost	Description
Basic Market Data	1-2 credits	Simple data like coin lists, basic info
Detailed Data	3-5 credits	Historical charts, detailed analytics
Wallet Operations	40-50 credits	Wallet balance, transaction sync (4,000 for HD wallet xpub/ypub/zpub)
Portfolio Data	8-10 credits	Portfolio management features
DeFi Data	400 credits	Comprehensive DeFi portfolio data

Managing Your Credits

Check Your Usage

Monitor your credit usage through the CoinStats dashboard or programmatically via the API.

Check Credit Usage

Use the /usage/credits endpoint to check your remaining credits programmatically.

curl -X GET "https://api.coinstats.app/v1/usage/credits" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: your-api-key"

Response:

{
  "totalCredits": 20000,
  "usedCredits": 9000,
  "remainingCredits": 11000,

The /usage/credits endpoint is free and does not consume any credits.
