US Census block plugin - set API throttle rate

jefffriesen opened this issue · 1 comments

The code has an 'API call throttle' set to 1 second:

        {
           "name": "param_api_throttle",
           "label" : "API call throttle:",
           "type": "INT",
           "defaultValue": 1,
           "description":"Define the pause in seconds between each API call",
           "mandatory" : true
        },

I couldn't figure out how to change that other than going into the code. Does it makes sense to expose that as an option in the settings?

Never mind, right there in front of me:

An interesting thread about fcc.gov's rate limits. Basically they won't publish them: https://twitter.com/adelevie/status/865662512166993920
