Request Rate Limit #52

Closed zohaibs63 closed 5 years ago

Is there any limit on request rate for free version of API? Not mentioned in iexcloud docs

We (you) should ask IEX and document rate limiting here. Thanks.

I found this in https://iextrading.com/developer/docs/#uptime

To provide the best experience for all our users, we monitor for suspicious activity and overload. We reserve the right to revoke access to anyone who abuses the IEX API. We throttle endpoints by IP, but you should be able to achieve over 100 requests per second.

I suspect IEX cloud does the same.
