API requests rate limit

[ariz...@gruppoitc.it]

Hi,

is there a limit for how many request per second/minute i can do via API?

I'm getting some 429 errors and don't know if it's EA or the webserver.

Thanks

Hello! 

Yes, the limit is currently set to 100 requests every 2 minutes.

This can be changed, though, if you modify the call to the rate limit function inside the EA_controller.php file.

found it in application/core for version 1.6.0. i commented the line because i can't find the origin of the rate_limit function

in order to syncronize i send a large number of PUT and POST, that rate limit won't work for me.

I'm no expert, but ...

It looks as though you can switch off rate limiting altogether in the application/config/config.php file. The rate limit setting is right at the end of the file.

Alternatively, the rate_limit() function is defined in application/helpers/rate_limit_helper.php. It takes 3 parameters: the IP address, the number of requests (default 100), and the duration (default 120 seconds). You should be able to supply different parameters in the constructor for the EA_Controller class.

Hope this helps.

the variable in the config.php file is a neater solution.
thank you phil.
