Greetings,
I'm building an LED display which shows when BART trains and AC Transit buses are departing near the 19th St station:
- BA:900201
I'm building an LED display which shows when BART trains and AC Transit buses are departing near the 19th St station:
- BA:900201
- BA:900202
- BA:900203
- AC:50958
- AC:53335
The code runs as a "usermod" for the open source WLED project: https://github.com/wled/WLED/pull/4919
I'd love to poll for updated departure information once a minute for each of the sources, but my API token runs into RateLimit issues after a short while.
- Is it possible to increase the rate limit for an API key?
- I'm looking at building a couple of these units, should I obtain a different API key for each?
Many, many thanks in advance, the 511.org API has been a blast to play with!
