API Overview

API Overview​

The Signals API is a comprehensive suite of HTTPS endpoints designed to programmatically access and integrate real-time Signals data into your systems. It delivers responses in JSON format, making it compatible with most modern programming languages and development frameworks.

In addition to data retrieval, it offers a set of endpoints to manage users and webhook subscriptions efficiently. These include:

User Creation API – Create new users within your system.

View User API – Retrieve detailed information about existing users.

Update User API – Modify user details as needed.

Subscribe API – Subscribe users to specific Signals or data streams.

Unsubscribe API – Remove users from existing subscriptions.

Webhook Creation – Set up webhooks to receive Signals data in real time.

Together, these endpoints provide a powerful toolkit for seamless integration, dynamic user management, and real-time data delivery within your enterprise infrastructure.

Authentication​

All API requests require a valid API key for authentication. This key serves as your unique identifier and ensures secure access to the API.

  • Include the API key in the request header to authenticate each call.
  • This method is supported and will successfully validate your access token for authorization.

Rate Limiting​

The Signals API enforces rate and usage limits based on your account’s service tier to maintain platform stability and ensure fair usage.

  • Rate Limits: You can make up to 5 requests per second (300 requests per minute) across all endpoints. Exceeding this limit may result in throttling or temporary access denial.
  • Request Limits: Your API access is also governed by a total request quota defined in your service agreement. This contract-based cap limits the total number of API calls allowed during the term of your agreement.

Monitor your API usage to remain within defined limits and avoid service interruptions.
