Hello everyone.
In the Disqus API documentation says that the number of requests from the basic account is limited to onethousand per hour. I am interested in how the scheme are considered requests for me to navigate in the future.

A request is generally counted as any successful (as in, hit a valid endpoint) request. If you specify an invalid endpoint (not an invalid parameter), it shouldn't count against the quota.

I do not understand how the counting queries. For example a user visits a page - how many requests it makes to your service? 3/10/50? Or 1? And there are new requests when he visited the second time this page? (F5)

When they visit a page using the embed it doesn't count against your requests. This only matters when you're using the API and making calls on your own.
