What happens on rate-limit? #6

On your website you wrote:

Because we use several different mojang proxy-backends, we are able to serve lots of requests hitting the uuid and profile endpoint.

But what happens if you actually hit the rate-limit. Do you we get the 429 response a different json message or something else?

Furthermore how long are the UUIDs cached?

currently, it just responds with 200 but with

{
  "status": "ERR"
}

insted of

{
  "status": "OK"
}

I plan to add better error handling soon.

Currently, name-> uuid requests are cached 12 hours and uuid -> profile 30 mins.

These times may vary tho. (They are also included in the response).

"cache": {
    "HIT": true, 
    "cache_time": 43200, 
    "cached_at": 1518449569.928288, 
    "cached_until": 1518492769.928288
  },
