tip

Please consider switching to Bitstamp FIX Trade Connector.
Institutional traders and market makers can use it for high-volume, low-latency order execution.

Request Limits

As standard, all clients can make 400 requests per second. There is a default limit threshold of 10,000 requests per 10 minutes in place. The rate limits mentioned above can be increased upon request and the client entering a bespoke agreement with Bitstamp.

Subscription

Bitstamp does not reject subscription for an instrument even if the symbol is wrong. Double-check that exchange symbols are properly specified.

Rejection with reason Not found indicates that symbol is invalid/unknown.

PostOnly

note

PostOnly flag (18=6) is applied only for GTC orders.
Bitstamp does not allow to mix moc_order (aka PostOnly) and TIF options (like daily_order etc.).
