Too many requests

[mhnamaki]

I'm downloading kernels scripts and I've got "too many requests". Please let me know what should be the wait time between every two requests to avoid getting such an error.

Thanks.

For people hitting errors on competition downloads, please update your client to the latest version pip install --upgrade kaggle

[PotatoSpudowski]

This worked for me.

pip uninstall -y kaggle pip install --upgrade pip pip install kaggle==1.5.6

Seriously this has to be fixed please. @PotatoSpudowski instructions works for me

kaggle competitions download -c rsna-pneumonia-detection-challenge

[c2karansingh]

@PotatoSpudowski thanks this worked for me.

P.S used it in Google collab. Remove ! if using in command prompt !pip uninstall -y kaggle !pip install --upgrade pip !pip install kaggle==1.5.6

Hello! I am trying to download a small subset of 5000 images with Kaggle API version 1.5.16 (most recent stable version up to date: December 2023) and I am still getting the same response code mentioned here (429 : Too Many Requests).

I am extracting the images from state-farm-distracted-driver-detection dataset (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/state-farm-distracted-driver-detection/data).

The error message appears aproximately around the 100th image download.

I am using a simple function for that purpose:

for filename in selected_filenames:
    print(filename)
    kaggle.api.competition_download_file(file_name=f'imgs/train/{selected_dict[filename]}/{filename}',
                                         competition=COMPETITION,
                                         path=DATAPATH)

Is there any kind of waiting time needed between downloads, so that, the response message 429 doesn't appear? Thanks in advance.
