api request frequency limit
Posted on: 10/29/18 05:14PM

Question: Is there a limit to the amount/frequency of requests I can send through the api? How can I send multiple requests without getting banned (waiting a set amount of time between requests, etc.)?

Reason for asking: After years of wanting the tag "and" feature, I decided to write my own. I go through a list of tags, fetch the links and thumbnails that are newer than a set limit, and gather them in a single list. This equals 1 request/100result/tag. I found no limit while testing with small amounts (3 tags), but the final thing will work on a lot more (~80).

The admins will know more but I think 100 result's per request and one request per 10 seconds are the limits.

But the default search is AND?

I think he meant "or"... But just keep it reasonable. You'll know something is wrong when the API goes down for abuse. AKA no limits, no frequency block, as of now.
