Public search API rate limit?

[Erin Braswell]

Hello!

I'm a developer on the SHARE Project, and we'd love to start using the public search API to query by email to see if any contributors to research objects in the SHARE dataset have an ORCID.  I wanted to make sure we respected any rate limits on the public API before we started making those queries. I had some trouble finding specific numbers for that, does anyone happen to know? 

Thanks!

Hi Erin,

I don't know about rate limits, but generally speaking querying by email will not be a good strategy as email addresses are normally marked private and thus not available for searching in the public API.

Regards,

Daryl

Hi, we haven't yet set rate limits, though likely Wii next year. Over time the best strategy for matching ORCID iDs to people is to have the person provide an authenticated ORCID iD. You would add a button on your site, usually tied to the person's account, and the button would initiate ORCID providing your system an iD. More details at http://members.orcid.org/api/tutorial-retrieve-orcid-id-curl-v12-and-earlier

If you are looking for general info I just got some benchmarking, we just released the public data file for 2015. You can find it at http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1582705.

Best, L

HI, 

Are there still no rate limits? There don't appear to be. At leas there aren't any rate limit headers in http request responses.

Definitions:

• Request a second - Number of request that can be made a second.
• Burst - Number of request we will allow to be queued before rejecting. The request in the queue are slowed down at the request a second rate.

v1.2

• Request a second - 8
  
• Burst - 40

2.0_rc+

• Request a second - 24
  
• Burst - 40
  

If you exceed the burst, you'll get a 503 responses.
