HTTPError: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests #93

Closed mvcduarte closed 4 years ago

mvcduarte commented 4 years ago

After a few requests (< 100), it reaches "too many requests", probably due to the google translate API. Any idea how to overcome this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Marcus

So - VADER does not inherently provide it's own translation. The use of "My Memory Translation Service" from MY MEMORY NET (see: http://mymemory.translated.net) is part of the demonstration showing (one way) for how to use VADER on non-English text. (Please note the usage limits for number of requests: http://mymemory.translated.net/doc/usagelimits.php)

I think it works pretty well, and if needed, a VADER user (who also wanted expanded translation service) could pay for the premium Google Translate API or some other translation service with a less restrictive request limit... or else use some other translation service.
