Comic Vine metadata API

rubengarciam opened this issue · 0 comments

One of my biggest concerns with Comic Vine's API is the harsh rate limiting they impose:

We restrict the number of requests made per user/hour. We officially support 200 requests per resource, per hour. In addition, we implement velocity detection to prevent malicious use. If too many requests are made per second, you may receive temporary blocks to resources. These features are included to help keep the API healthy for all of our users. If you have a question regarding rate limiting, please comment in our API Developer forum. It is suggested that you cache responses in your app to prevent duplicated requests from making unique requests.

This may require every user to create its own API key, as it won't scale otherwise
