Discussion EDSM API - How many queries per min allowed?

[AndyT]

Hello,

I've been messing around with some python scripts recently that have called a couple of the ESDM APIs, recently I've seen some 429 responses and wondered if there are guides to how many calls you can make per min to the APIs?

Specifically it's the System and Systems APIs that I'm calling.

cheers!

Look at the headers in the API response, lots of good stuff there

Ah, thanks Factabulous... I can see the X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset values now.

Guess I'll have to build in some logic to check for these and act!
