Rate Limits & API Keys

• Default limits: 5 requests per second across all endpoints.
• Exceeding the limit triggers a 5-minute ban.
• Need more throughput? Contact us and we can raise limits for approved partners.

​

Getting an API key

1. Log into the SatsTerminal dashboard.
2. Create or view your API keys in sidebar menu.
3. Keep keys secret; do not commit them to source control.

​

Using the key

import { SatsTerminal } from "satsterminal-sdk";
const swaps = new SatsTerminal({ apiKey: process.env.API_KEY! });

import { createClient } from "satsterminal-sdk";
const { swaps, borrow } = createClient({ apiKey: process.env.API_KEY!, borrow: { /* ... */ } });

Using the Embed? You do not need an API key—the widget handles auth for you.

​

Best practices

• Store keys in environment variables or a secrets manager.
• Rotate keys periodically.
• Use different keys per environment (dev/staging/prod).
