{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi,\n\nfor an application I want to make a lot of API requests, possibly keeping a database up to date by doing sessions every day.\nWhat would be an appropriate amount of time to wait between the requests and do you even allow that many requests for single users to begin with? \n\nCheers\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I believe we start rate limiting people at 40 requests per minute. So long as you're not hitting that, you should be fine. \n\nWhat're you trying to build? \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"The one that is closest to finishing is a recommendation system for commanders. Basically trying to recommend new commanders, based on commanders already build.\n\nBut there are other ideas I wanted to make, that require lots of data. I was experimenting with other ways to find and display commanders and wanted to make a \"world-map\" of commanders, where commanders that are more similar are closer together. Though that can also be done for decks within single commanders, to find out how \"spread-out\" the decks are. Krenko decks are probably going to be very similar to each other, whereas Sauron or Liesa can be built in different ways. \n\nAre the rate limits accompanied by a 429 or are they done quietly?\n"}]}
