remove request limit for discord bot
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
Firstly thanks for the great api
I am using this anime for 1 discord bot and it seems to be limited to 100requests/hour
Can you remove this limitation for my bot?
Hi, I'm not a maintainer, but I don't think the maintainer will do so. A public API of this size will 99% sure not have a system for allowing some IPs to bypass the limit, and also don't think the maintainer will write the necessary code for one person. Also, allowing only one person to bypass the limits make no sense, since the other API users would complain about this (and they would be right). I believe that the solution for this is either:
- Cache the responses for 1 hour until you can make more requests
- Ask to increase the amount of requests pero hour
While the API is limited to 100r/h, you should use option N°1. You should also edit the request so as to make it more generic and to simply ask to increase the limit of requests.
This is the most common request I get. The whole project is just my hobby project. That is hosted on different free services from Heroku to Render and Vercel. The service itself is free for use in any project you want. But hosting and maintaining costs both money and man-hours which I am not willing to do atm. It's upto the users who use the service to donate(monthly) if they want to increase the rate limit and upgrade to a paid service.
Please bear in mind that I am not requesting anyone to donate.
