Same request made too many times

[omelhus]

Hey,

What is triggering this error from the API? I get that it's the "Same request made too many times", but what is too many times and what is the timespan?

Hi!

The error message should contain what policy triggered it.

Example:

HTTP Status: 429
Exception Message: "Same request made too many times"
Response Headers:
x-ratelimit-limit: 5
x-ratelimit-policy: IntervalLimit
x-ratelimit-reset: 1551868340 (Epoch-Unix Format which is representing the start of next sliding window)

You can see the different policies in this article:

Why am I receiving "HTTP 429 - Too many request / throttling" response from API ?
