API denying requests #66

Open TobiasLundby opened 7 years ago

TobiasLundby commented 7 years ago

The python scripts using the API sometimes experience denies from the server when ~10 API calls are made per sec. One.com has been contacted about the HTML error 429 (Too Many Requests) and they respond by saying that it should not be a problem; Tobias has also investigated the server log and no occurrences of the error was present but presumably this is due to outer layers on the server (since it is a shared server probably running in a VM) blocking the request (in fear of DDoS) and never reaching the inner server / WM. We’ve decided to wait with any further investigation since quite some time has been spent on fixing the error and no result has been found. I should be noted that the next time the error occurs the time and date should be noted along with the requested API and requester IP.
