In this section, you can find the rate limiting details of Jupiter API.
Overview
Fixed Rate Limit
- All Jupiter APIs that are public and documented are free to use via the Lite tier.
- By purchasing a Pro plan, you are only accessing higher rate limits with no differences in usage nor freshness of data.
Dynamic Rate Limit
API Key rules
-
API Keys are universal
- Use the same API Key for Ultra Swap API (Dynamic Rate Limit) and all Pro APIs
api.jup.ag (Fixed Rate Limit).
- You do not need an API Key for Lite APIs
lite-api.jup.ag.
-
Rate limits apply on a per account basis, not to individual API keys.
| API Tier | Rate Limit Model | API Key Required | Base URL |
|---|
| Lite | Fixed (Free Tier) | No | https://lite-api.jup.ag/** |
| Pro | Fixed (Tiered) | Yes | https://api.jup.ag/** |
| Ultra | Dynamic | Yes | https://api.jup.ag/ultra/** |
Fixed Rate Limit
The Fixed Rate Limit system applies to the Lite and Pro plans (does not include Ultra Swap API), using the sliding window method to enforce request quotas.
| Property | Lite | Pro |
|---|
| Base URL | https://lite-api.jup.ag/ | https://api.jup.ag/ |
| Cost | Free | Paid per month, based on tier |
| API Key | Not required | Required |
| Requests Per Minute | 60 | Based on tier |
| Window | 60 seconds | 10 seconds |
Rate Limit
Rate limits are defined over 10-second windows (except Lite at 60-second window). For example, if your tier allows 100 requests per 10 seconds, any more within that window will receive a 429 response, regardless of how few you used in the previous window.
| Tier | Est. Requests per Minute | Requests Per Period | Sliding Window Period |
|---|
| Lite | 60 | 60 | 60 seconds |
| Pro I | ~600 | 100 | 10 seconds |
| Pro II | ~3,000 | 500 | 10 seconds |
| Pro III | ~6,000 | 1,000 | 10 seconds |
| Pro IV | ~30,000 | 5,000 | 10 seconds |
- Price API Bucket – dedicated for
/price/v3/ only - separate from Default Bucket.
- Default Bucket – used for all APIs except the Price API.
NOTE
- Each bucket enforces its own sliding window independently.
- For example, Pro II = 500 per 10 seconds to the Default Bucket and 500 per 10 seconds to the Price API Bucket.
- Lite users do not have a separate Price API Bucket — all requests are counted against the Default Bucket.
Dynamic Rate Limit
INFODynamic Rate Limit is currently in BETA.
- The rate limit is subject to changes as we experiment with the Dynamic Rate Limit system.
- If you find that the rate limit is too restrictive, please reach out to us in Discord.
| Property | Dynamic |
|---|
| Base URL | https://api.jup.ag/ultra/ |
| Cost | Free to use, but Ultra incurs swap fees |
| API Key | Required |
| Requests Per Minute | Base Quota + Added Quota |
How Dynamic Rate Limit Works
Every 10 minutes
- The system aggregates your swap volume from
/execute on Ultra for the current rolling day (volume of (current timestamp - 1 day) up to present).
- After which, the Added Quota will update, which will be added on top of the Base Quota.
| Swap Volume | Requests Per Period | Sliding Window Period |
|---|
| $0 | 50 Base + 0 Added = 50 | 10 seconds |
| $10,000 | 50 Base + 1 Added = 51 | 10 seconds |
| $100,000 | 50 Base + 11 Added = 61 | 10 seconds |
| $1,000,000 | 50 Base + 115 Added = 165 | 10 seconds |
Managing Rate Limits
If you receive a 429 response, you should:
- Implement exponential backoff in your retry logic
- Wait for sliding window to allow for more requests
- Upgrade your tier (Pro) or scale your Ultra usage to unlock higher limits.
CAUTIONBursting beyond your allocation may result in temporary 429s/rate limits, even after the refill period. Avoid aggressive retry patterns.
