Getting request limit errors with Premium Account

[Andrew Kadeksy]

Hello,

I've been using BreweryDB to create a basic search app for breweries in locations specified by users.  Not only does the app send request for breweries by for the beers from each of the breweries that are retrieved from the request as well.  However, recently I have been running into this request limit error:

GET https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/http://api.brewerydb.com/v2/brewery/DDPx51/beers?key=bb5091fd74b7944bb27ac0fd535524ef 429 (Too Many Requests)

As the subject title states, i do have a premium account.  I have read about others that have been running into the same issue, and notice something about the rate of requests being the issue.  I took a look at the documentation to find specifics on request intervals (i.e. 500 max request per 100 seconds).  I did not find any information on the matter.  If there is something in the documentation about this subject, and im just blind, would you be able to point me in the right direction?

Thank You,

Andrew Kadesky

Hey Andrew,

You’ll need to delete this api key and create a new one as you’ve now exposed your key to the group in your email.

But to answer your question, you get an unlimited number of requests with a premium account, but not an unlimited amount of bandwidth, so the speed of your requests is indeed what is causing you to hit a rate limit.  If you slow your script down a little bit, you should be good to go.

The sliding windows for the request rate limit are currently 20/second, 500/minute, or 5000/hour.

Just let us know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

Garrison
