# Rate Limits & Authentication

Note on integration

Public rate limits are **3 rps** (requests per second) for the Aggregator API, **10 rps** for the Limit Order API, and **1 rps** for the ZaaS API.

## Aggregator API

The Aggregator API accepts two identification headers.

<table><thead><tr><th width="194.87890625">Header</th><th>Base URL</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>X-Api-Key</code></td><td><code>https://api.kyberswap.com/swap/</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>x-client-id</code></td><td><code>https://aggregator-api.kyberswap.com</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Existing integrations**

Nothing changes. Clients are recommended to include the `x-client-id` header in every request, using your app or company name as the value.

* `GET` /routes — header `x-client-id: MyAwesomeApp`
* `POST` /route/build — header `x-client-id: MyAwesomeApp`

**New integrations and higher rate limits**

Request an API key and send it as an `X-Api-Key` header to the API gateway at `https://api.kyberswap.com/swap/`. The gateway provides better performance and higher rate limits.

* `GET` /routes — header `X-Api-Key: your-api-key`
* `POST` /route/build — header `X-Api-Key: your-api-key`

**Note:** client-id whitelisting is no longer offered for the Aggregator API. Rate limit increases are handled through API keys. To request one, contact the KyberSwap team at <business@kyber.network>.

## Limit Order API and ZaaS API

These APIs do not require authentication, and API keys do not apply to them.

Include the `x-client-id` header in every request, using your app or company name as the value.

To get your client-id whitelisted and increase your rate limit, contact KyberSwap's team at <business@kyber.network>.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kyberswap.com/developer-guide/start-here/rate-limits-and-client-id.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
