Norgate Data Rate Limits

Norgate Data does not expose a hosted public API and therefore publishes no per-request HTTP rate limits or quotas. Programmatic access via the norgatedata Python package runs against a local Norgate Data Updater (NDU) database on the subscriber's own Windows machine, so query throughput is bounded only by local CPU, disk and memory - not by a network API gate. The only network activity is NDU itself downloading the daily EOD update from Norgate's servers; that synchronization is governed by Norgate's terms of service and fair-use, not by a documented per-minute request cap. Data is redistributed under a single-user license; bulk redistribution or multi-user server access is contractually restricted rather than rate-limited.

Norgate Data Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Norgate Data on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, queries, updates, and users.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined.

Tagged areas include Market Data, Financial Data, Historical Data, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Limits

Public API Requests account
requests
not applicable
No hosted public HTTP/REST API exists; access is a local library over the NDU database.
Local Query Throughput machine
queries
hardware-bound
norgatedata queries run against the local NDU database and are limited only by local machine resources.
Daily Data Synchronization subscription
updates
daily EOD update
NDU downloads the end-of-day update once available each trading day, governed by Norgate fair-use, not an API quota.
Concurrent Users license
users
single user
Single-user license; server installs are restricted to a single installed account and not designed for server-wide multi-user access.

Policies

Local Service Model
All queries resolve against a local NDU database; there is no network round-trip per query and thus no server-side throttling.
Multithreading Support
The norgatedata package is documented as multithreading / multiprocessing compatible for parallel local queries.
Fair Use and Licensing
Data access and redistribution are governed by Norgate's single-user license and terms of service rather than by API rate limits.
