Rate limits
SquareBreach enforces a small number of rate limits to keep the service fast for everyone. They’re generous for normal use and only kick in to stop abuse.
Per account
- 120 requests per minute across all endpoints.
- 10,000 requests per day hard cap to discourage bulk scraping.
These are independent of credit balance — they exist to protect upstream sources.
Per endpoint
| Endpoint | Limit |
|---|---|
| Auth signup | 10 / hour / IP |
| NOWPayments checkout | 20 / hour / account |
| Webhooks (incoming) | No limit (rely on signature verification) |
Limit responses
When you hit a limit you get a 429 Too Many Requests response with a JSON body:
{
"success": false,
"code": "RATE_LIMITED",
"message": "Too many requests. Try again in 15 seconds.",
"retry_after_seconds": 15
