API Rate Limits & User Defined Spreads

Ironbeam API
1

Hello Ironbeam Support,

A few quick questions regarding the API:

  1. What the rate limits on your order and position related endpoints. Since you don’t stream those changes, it looks like clients need to poll to be aware of updates.

  2. I see in the Ironbeam web app how to create a User Defined Options spread. In the API I see the “Search for symbol options spreads” endpoint at: /info/symbol/search/options/spreads/{symbol}

And the sample response includes an options spread: “+1:ES.Z24.P5670-1:ES.Z24.P5550+1:EW3.F25.W3.P5760-1:EW3.F25.W3.P5860”

So do I just enter the legs of my options spread in that format as a symbol and the Ironbeam API will accept it? … If it matters, I only intend to trade “exchange-recognized spreads” as defined here: https://cmegroupclientsite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EPICSANDBOX/pages/457574265/User+Defined+Spread+Types+and+Characteristics#Exchange-Recognized-UDS

Thanks!
