I’ve been running into an issue with creating categories via the API. It seems there is a limit, but that limit doesn’t seem to be customizable nor does it seem to have a setting to disable it anywhere. The error I get is: We have a daily limit on how many times that action can be taken. Please wai…

What happens if you disable the global admin api rate limit (raise it to say 500 a minute and 500 per ten seconds)? Does this go away? I would guess that something about your script is pummeling too many requests at the server.

Thanks @sam , not sure how I missed that!

No worries, I have meant to make that post for a while @mpalmer asked for it a few weeks ago ;p @community FYI ^^^

Ahh, it’s new, didn’t notice that either. Not on top of it today I guess… I’m only performing one request though to create a category and don’t see any daily limits there. Is there another limit that would be attributing to the 429 error?

Well first thing I would try is another API endpoint to see if this is the global rate limit or some specific rate limit on category creation (or maybe a user rate limit in the app), be sure your api_username is an admin

Using ‘system’ and the key was generated via the admin dashboard. It don’t have an issue grabbing the category list, only creating a category.

Not seeing anything particular in the app, I would try a different admin user to see what happens, maybe the error you are getting is a different limit.

Tried another user and a generic key for all users, but both hit the same 429 error and limit when trying to create a category.

Is there anything in the response body you are getting.

Just the error message: {"errors"=>["We have a daily limit on how many times that action can be taken. Please wait 21 seconds before trying again."], "error_type"=>"rate_limit"} (DiscourseApi::TooManyRequests)
