Hi Guys,

Few questions:
- What are current limitation on API calls per day?
- Are there any limitation on how big a portfolio can be to display? I
read in some post here that the limitation is 200 transactions total
across all portfolio? Is this information accurate?
- Where can I find terms and condition regarding the usage for
creating client applications?

Thanks and Regards,
GoFolios Team

We don't have a formal per day limitation. There is rate limiting per
minute and per hour but it varies depending on the load of the entire
system. If you're refreshing once per minute or two that should be
fine. (and in reality most users aren't modifying their portfolios
every 5 minutes).

There used to be a 200 transaction total, I believe that has been
raised significantly now.

Terms and conditions are:

Thank you for the answer.

We were updating the data continuously I think. We will change it to
every 2 minutes.

We did this site for a client, just want to make sure we are not
violating any terms

The website is mystockwiz dot com
