API rate limit tracking

[apreiter18]

Feedback from colleagues:

"Has your team considered putting rate limit info (like rate limit and rate limit remaining) in the header returned from the API? Not critical to work on our end but it would simplify some of the tracking of the rate limit we are doing currently. "

Isn't this already supported? Every request to api.congress.gov returns these two headers

X-Ratelimit-Limit: 5000
X-Ratelimit-Remaining: 4999

Thanks, @ryparker for this information and this reminder!

No problem!
