Please note that the rateLimit is set in milliseconds so 1000 ms = 1 second. If you're noticing issues with requests, try bumping it up, it'll reduce the frequency for the requests and might solve any issues.

Answer with all lowercase and hyphenated names so chanel or spring-2019-ready-to-wear, yes and no should be only yes and no and lowercase as well.

Future

  • Allow user to set folder location
  • Setup unit tests
  • Setup compare tests (eg. folders have more images than the look should)
  • Compare image look number to what we saved it as (so you wouldn't ever pull a look that isn't the correct number)
  • Cleanup (rename files to match functions or vice versa, etc)
