Reach API request limit/ Trying to loop a request 17000 times #227

I'm new to python, I noticed there is a 1000 requests limit in one hour. So I use time.sleep(4) to loop my request function, so I'm looping 900 times in an hour. But it still says I reached the request limit. What is a good time-out period for this situation?

I figured that out, I am using the demo key. I got the API key after signed up, hope it will work!
