Api Call Returns Nothing When Too Many Requests

A user, hnaseri, is experiencing issues with the Discourse API, where it returns nothing when making too many requests. Despite increasing max user api reqs per minute/day, the problem persists.

sam suggests adding a section to the app.yml file to increase the rate limits:

params:
  reqs_per_second: 12
  burst_per_second: 12
  reqs_per_minute: 200
  burst_per_minute: 100

However, it is unclear if this solution is still valid, as DDo has recently encountered a similar issue with API calls, receiving a “Slow down, too Many Requests from this IP Address” response.

sam points to a meta post for documentation on current rate limits, which may help resolve the issue.

I want to get a list of topic with api calls and show their average rating in my android app but I cant get more than about 36 topic at once and the api return empty if I go more than that. I tried to increase max user api reqs per minute/day but it didn’t help.

Is there any other rate limits that I need to increase?

I have found the following file. Is it related to my problem? and if it is, How should I increase the limit here?

Add the following section into your app.yml

params:
  reqs_per_second: 12
  burst_per_second: 12
  reqs_per_minute: 200
  burst_per_minute: 100

Edit to taste.

@hnaseri Did that fix your issues?

@sam, ist das immer noch die gültige Lösung?
Ich erstelle Benutzer und füge sie über API-Aufrufe zu Gruppen hinzu und erhalte nun die Antwort „Langsam machen, zu viele Anfragen von dieser IP-Adresse“. Oder gibt es eine Einstellung, mit der ich die Anzahl der erlaubten Anfragen für diese bestimmte IP-Adresse oder für den API-Benutzer anpassen kann? Das wäre meiner Meinung nach die sicherste Option.

Vielen Dank
