What is Rate Limiting?#
Rate limiting in short, is used to control the rate(number) of requests sent or received by a network.Why is Rate Limiting a thing?#
Since KeyAuth LLC provides an API service, it's important to ensure the best connectivity for all users and prevent a "bloated" server. In order to do this, we must limit the amount of requests a user can make within a specific time frame. This also comes in handy when beginner programmers first work with our API and aren't quite sure how to properly function it.What is our Rate Limit?#
Users can make 30 requests within 30 seconds before being rate limited. Any amount higher than 30 within 30 seconds will result in an error:{
"status": false,
"message": "You've been rate limited, you're sending too many requests"
}
How do I get rid of my Rate Limit?#
If you find yourself rate limited, do not worry! Simply wait 30minutes - 1hour and then try your request again. If you're still rate limited, you may need to contact our support team via Discord, Telegram or our Website.Modified at 2024-06-20 13:58:54
