Viewing: Rate Limits
Getting Started
Create an account, get your API key, and make your first request. Then move from core REST endpoints to SDKs, automation, and real-time streaming as your product grows.
Start Here
First request
Get a live Saudi stock quote by symbol in minutes.
Build
Core API
Stocks, trades, depth, market, historical, company data, and financials.
Realtime
WebSocket
Stocks, trades, and depth channels, limits, and reconnect/error handling.
Alerts & Webhooks
Notification workflow
Event webhooks, rules, delivery behavior, and limits.
Quick Start
- Create a free account
- Get your API key from the dashboard
- Make your first API request
- Browse code examples on GitHub
Base URL
https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1Existing integrations using app.sahmk.sa will continue to work.
Your First Request
curl -X GET "https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1/quote/2222/" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"Full examples available on GitHub →
Quote path uses a symbol. If you need name/alias resolution, pass it through the optional identifier query param.
Expected Response
{
"symbol": "2222",
"name_en": "Saudi Arabian Oil Co",
"price": 26.6,
"change_percent": 0.0,
"volume": 6601208,
"updated_at": "2026-08-12T12:20:00+00:00",
"is_delayed": false
}Success: You just fetched live Saudi market data from SAHMK. Next, use the SDK for faster integration, explore core endpoints, or move to WebSocket if you need streaming updates.
Ambiguity note: If an identifier maps to multiple companies, pass the exact exchange symbol to disambiguate.
Next for data operations: use Data Center in your dashboard when you need bulk exports and structured dataset workflows.
Authentication
All API requests require authentication using an API key. Include your key in the header named X-API-Key.
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEYAPI key types:
shmk_live_*- Production keysshmk_test_*- Test keys (same data access; usage counts toward the account's shared daily quota)
curl -X GET "https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1/quote/2222/" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"Python SDK & CLI
Start here if you want the fastest path from API key to working integration. The official SDK gives you a cleaner client, while the CLI is useful for testing, demos, and automated tooling.
pip install -U sahmk
export SAHMK_API_KEY="your_api_key"
sahmk quote "Saudi Aramco"If a newly documented SDK/CLI feature is missing locally, upgrade by running pip install -U sahmk.
Python SDK:
from sahmk import SahmkClient
client = SahmkClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
directory = client.companies(search="aramco", market="TASI", limit=20, offset=0)
symbol = directory["results"][0]["symbol"]
print(client.quote("أرامكو السعودية"))If symbol input is uncertain, call client.companies(...) first to discover a valid symbol before quote/company calls.
Use this when: you want less boilerplate than raw REST, typed workflows in Python, or quick command-line access to quotes and market data.
Quote methods accept identifiers (symbol, Arabic/English name, alias). Use symbol when the identifier is ambiguous.

Behavior Notes
period=autoresolves toannualwhen the latest fiscal year is full-year, otherwisequarterly.- Starter clients should request
period=annualexplicitly; ifautoresolves to quarterly, the API returns403 PLAN_LIMIT. - Annual history returns completed fiscal years by default; use
include_partial=1to include the current incomplete annual/YTD row. - Quarterly mode returns the latest available quarters by default.
result=latestfollows the selected/resolved granularity; in annual mode it returns the latest completed year by default unlessinclude_partial=1is used.- API default remains
period=annualfor backward compatibility. - Statements are returned in arrays such as
income_statements,balance_sheets, andcash_flows. - Responses also include
symbol,statement_period,semantics, and public reporting context inreporting.
Data Available by Plan:
- Starter: Annual statements; request period=annual explicitly. History controls support up to 3 years, and a bare request retains the legacy 4-row extended response.

- Price 0 is not a priced level and is not included in the best bid, best ask, spread, or quantity totals.
- A book that contains only market orders is still delivered.

Real-time WebSocket - Errors
Handle WebSocket errors using a consistent error message format. Use the connection close code to identify the error category, and the latest error.code and error.details to determine the appropriate action.
WebSocket Error Codes
WS_INTERNAL_ERROR—4000An internal connection failure interrupted setup.
Action: Retry with capped exponential backoff and jitter.
WS_AUTH_OR_ACCESS—4401 / 4403MARKET_DATA_ENTITLEMENT_*
Account access or entitlement issue blocks streaming access.
Action: 4401 means fix API key auth, 4403 means fix account/plan entitlement state. Do not auto-reconnect.
WS_RATE_LIMIT—4429DEPTH_WS_*_LIMIT / *_RATE_LIMITED
Connection, subscription, or action throttles were exceeded.
Action: Retry with backoff and jitter, and honor retry_after_seconds from the latest error details when it is present.
WS_INVALID_REQUESTINVALID_JSON / UNKNOWN_ACTION / SYMBOL_REQUIRED and lowercase variants
Malformed payload or unsupported action.
Action: Codes are channel-specific and case-sensitive. Fix the payload and retry the action; the socket normally remains open.
Multi-connection guardrails
- Open sockets with a 200-400ms stagger instead of starting all at once.
- Queue reconnect attempts globally per API key.
- Avoid synchronized reconnect storms around market open.
Off-hours connections
You may keep WebSocket connections open outside market hours. SAHMK does not intentionally disconnect clients at market close. Continue sending a ping every 30 seconds, reconnect with capped exponential backoff and jitter when necessary, and restore subscriptions after every reconnect. Market events may be absent while the market is inactive.

}Real-time WebSocket - Limits
Concurrent connection limits are independent per channel (Stocks, Trades, Depth). Keep these separate from plan-specific subscription limits such as max symbols per connection and max symbols per subscribe call.
A qualifying plan does not by itself activate every real-time product or authorize end-user display and redistribution. Request access from Realtime Data Products, and read the Commercial Usage Policy. Responsible API use is covered in the Developer Usage Terms.
When SAHMK data is displayed, whether historical, delayed, real-time, or otherwise, reference it as data provided by SAHMK.

Rule design guidance
- Start with narrow symbol scope and explicit thresholds.
- Use cooldown windows to reduce notification noise.
- Validate in staging before enabling production rules.
conditionis required forprice_alert; other documented event types normalize it automatically.- Ratio thresholds must be greater than 1.0. Large-move thresholds are capped at 10% for TASI and 30% for NOMU.
oncedefaults totrue, so the rule triggers once. Setting it tofalseallows another trigger when the conditions are met again, subject to any cooldown. It does not fire on every market update. The examples usefalse, which is why the response showsfire_once: false.

Alerts & Webhooks - Delivery Lifecycle
Monitor queued, delivered, failed, and retry statuses for operational visibility.
Delivery Lifecycle
Pro+Current lifecycle states and retry sequence for webhook delivery attempts.
Status flow: pending → retrying → delivered or dead_letter
Retry backoff: 2s, 10s, 60s between successive attempts.
Attempts: 4 total (initial attempt + 3 retries), with no jitter.
Retry trigger: all non-2xx outcomes are retried (4xx, 5xx, timeout, and connection errors) until attempts are exhausted.
Automatic deactivation: after 3 consecutive failed deliveries, the webhook is deactivated. Resolve the destination issue and re-verify it before using associated rules again.
Use event_id and correlation_id for end-to-end tracing.
No public replay endpoint is currently available for dead-letter events.
Where to manage
Alerts & Webhooks - Signature Verification
Verify each webhook request signature before processing events in production.
Use the endpoint-specific signing secret (signing_secret) returned when creating the webhook destination.
Delivery headers include X-SAHMK-Signature, X-SAHMK-Event, and X-SAHMK-Event-Id.
- Each delivery includes
X-SAHMK-Signature. - Signature generation uses HMAC-SHA256 over the canonical JSON payload. The example sorts keys and removes extra whitespace before signing.
- Reject mismatches with HTTP 401.
# Header format:
# X-SAHMK-Signature: t=<unix_ts>,v1=<hex_hmac>
timestamp, received = parse_signature_header(request.headers["X-SAHMK-Signature"])
canonical_json = json.dumps(payload, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))
signed_payload = f"{timestamp}.{canonical_json}"
computed = HMAC_SHA256(signing_secret, signed_payload)
if computed != received:
return 401
process_event(payload)Replay protection
Timestamp is included in the signature header. Receivers should check that it falls within an accepted window to reduce replay of an older webhook request. Verify the signature and timestamp before processing the event.
Alerts & Webhooks - Event History
Review recent webhook delivery results and retry attempts to monitor activity and troubleshoot delivery issues.
Dashboard Event History
Pro+Use the Developer Dashboard to review webhook delivery history.
- Filter by delivery status, event type, or workspace.
- Use
event_idandcorrelation_idto trace individual events and delivery attempts.
Open Developer Dashboard - Smart Alerts to view delivery history and retry statuses.
Alerts & Webhooks - Error Codes
Understand SAHMK API error codes and build reliable webhook consumers that safely handle retries and duplicate deliveries.
The HTTP errors below are returned by SAHMK API requests. Webhook delivery retries follow the delivery lifecycle.
Webhook delivery best practices
- Treat delivery attempts as idempotent; duplicate deliveries can occur on retry.
- Return 2xx quickly after durable persistence; process heavy work asynchronously.
- Track delivery IDs and failure reasons for support and reconciliation.
400—INVALID_PARAMInvalid payload field or unsupported query option.
Action: Fix request payload and retry.
401—AUTH_REQUIREDThe X-API-Key header is missing.
Action: Add an active API key and retry.
403—PLAN_LIMIT / FEATURE_DISABLEDPlan lacks feature access or limits were reached.
Action: Upgrade plan or adjust usage.
404—NOT_FOUNDWebhook or alert resource was not found for this account.
Action: Verify resource id and ownership context.
429—RATE_LIMITED / detail429 responses include error.code RATE_LIMITED. App quota also keeps a detail string. Honor Retry-After when present.
Action: Backoff and retry with jitter.
Error Response Format

"error": {
"code": "ERROR_CODE",

}Realtime WebSocket errors
Rate Limits
API access is rate-limited based on your subscription plan. There are two types of limits: daily quotas and per-minute burst limits.
Limits may be enforced at the API key, account, and IP address. The rules for responsible use are in the Developer Usage Terms.
Full Plan Comparison
| Plan | Daily Limit | Burst Limit | API Keys | WebSocket | Event Webhooks | Event Rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 100/day | 10/min | 1 | ✗ | 0 | 0 |
| Starter | 5,000/day | 100/min | 3 | ✗ | 0 | 0 |
| Pro | 50,000/day | 500/min | 10 | ✓ | 3 | 10 |
| Business | 150,000/day | 1,000/min | 30 | ✓ | 10 | 50 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | ✓ | Custom | Custom |
Daily request quota
Daily quotas are shared across the account, including Live and Test keys. Rotating or revoking a key does not create a new daily pool.
Burst Protection: To prevent abuse and protect stability, per-minute throttling is applied at both API-key and account levels. Requests exceeding these limits return HTTP 429. Daily limits reset at midnight in Asia/Riyadh (UTC+3). Enterprise limits are contract-based and may be monthly quotas or resource-based.
Rate Limit Headers
Most successful /api/v1/* responses include these headers:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| X-RateLimit-Limit | The request limit reported by this header. |
| X-RateLimit-Remaining | Remaining requests according to this header's current calculation. |
| X-RateLimit-Reset | Unix timestamp for the next daily-quota reset. |
X-RateLimit-Reset is the next midnight in Asia/Riyadh. The daily quota applies to the whole account across every API key, while X-RateLimit-Remaining is currently calculated from the key used for the request. With multiple keys, the header can show more remaining requests than the account's actual remaining balance.
Some proxy servers may remove the rate-limit headers. An HTTP 429 response uses error.code RATE_LIMITED whether the limit was enforced at the edge or by an application quota or throttle. Application limit errors may also include a top-level detail field. Honor Retry-After when it is present.
Error Codes
The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns structured JSON error responses.
HTTP Error Codes
400—INVALID_ROUTEWrong endpoint path was used. The API returns a suggested correct route.
401—AUTH_REQUIREDThe X-API-Key header is missing. The body includes error.code and detail.
403—INVALID_API_KEYAPI key format is invalid, or the key is invalid or revoked. The body includes error.code and detail.
403—PLAN_LIMITEndpoint requires a higher plan (e.g., historical data requires Starter+, or higher-tier financials combinations are requested on Starter).
404—INVALID_SYMBOLExchange symbol was not found.
404 / 409—INVALID_IDENTIFIER / AMBIGUOUS_IDENTIFIERIdentifier query did not resolve or matched multiple companies.
429—RATE_LIMITED(edge)Nginx edge burst or connection guard. The body is error.code and error.message.
429—RATE_LIMITED(application)App daily, per-minute, IP, or temporary security throttle. The body includes error.code and detail.
500—SERVER_ERRORInternal server error. Please retry or contact support.
Temporary security limits for new accounts
Some new free accounts may temporarily hit a security limit. If this happens, the API returns HTTP 429 with a detail containing Temporary security limit reached. Honor Retry-After when present and try again later.
Common integration error: Calling GET /api/v1/quote/batch/ returns 400 INVALID_ROUTE with route guidance.
{
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_ROUTE",
"message": "Did you mean /api/v1/quotes/?symbols=2222,1120 ?"
}
}Responses for a missing API key (401), an invalid or revoked key (403), and a quota or rate limit (429) include error.code and error.message, and also retain the top-level detail field. For quota-related HTTP 429 responses, the top-level upgrade object is returned alongside error.
Error Response Formats
Endpoint validation and lookup errors generally use a structured error object:
{
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_SYMBOL",
"message": "Stock symbol '9999' not found."
}
}When the Nginx request-rate limit is exceeded, HTTP 429 is returned before the application processes the request. Retry-After is 1, and the same response is used on api.sahmk.sa and app.sahmk.sa:
{
"error": {
"code": "RATE_LIMITED",
"message": "Request rate limit exceeded. Please retry shortly."
}
}Errors for a missing or rejected API key, the daily quota, the per-minute limit, an IP limit, and a temporary security restriction include error.code and retain the top-level detail field. For a daily-quota HTTP 429, the upgrade object is returned alongside error.
