Webhooks
Receive real-time notifications when specific events occur in your Guavy integration. Our webhook system allows you to build responsive applications that react instantly to cryptocurrency trend changes, Guavy simulator trade executions, and critical newsroom events.
What are Webhooks?
Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that send real-time data to your server when a specific event occurs in the Guavy system. Instead of continuously polling our API for updates, webhooks push information directly to your application the moment something happens.
This event-driven approach reduces latency, minimizes unnecessary API calls, and ensures your application stays synchronized with the latest cryptocurrency data without any delay.
Custom Webhook Solutions
At Guavy, we understand that every integration has unique requirements. That's why we offer custom webhook solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our team works closely with you to design and implement webhooks that deliver exactly the data you need, when you need it.

API Limits
The Guavy API has a limit of 10 simultaneous connections. You'll receive a 429 error if you reach the limit. At exceptionally high volumes, you may receive an HTTP 429 or 403 without a JSON body.
We recommend that you cache frequently accessed values that do not change often in your application's data store. This will prevent your application from bumping up against the throttling limitations and will likely provide faster access to that data.
Account Limits
Your Guavy account will typically have a licensed limit of at least 100,000 API calls per month. In addition, there is a limit of 10,000 API calls per day. If you reach these limits, you will receive a 429 error.
Connection Timeouts
The Guavy API has a 120-second timeout on API calls. You may see this type of timeout after you've made a network socket connection and are already sending and receiving data. Response times are dependent on the complexity of your request and the general load across Guavy. Some endpoints in the Guavy API return values that are large and slow to calculate.
