  • cbanack posted a message in the forum topic API Rate Limiting. on the API Developers board

    FWIW, I also agree with the other commenters in this thread; evening out the load on your server(s) is your job, not mine. Using an arbitrary timeout that you expect API users to figure out and follow...
