Marketplace API: no limitation #367

Hi,

It seems that there are no API query rate limitation. Earlier today I ran a query ( (foreach (coordinate) - node-fetch (coordinate) ) to get each no-district/road parcel image from api.decentraland.org/v1/map.png? without rate limiter, for 10k parcels. And I have not been stopped nor seen my IP blacklisted ! While my query was running, the marketplace was ultra slow to show map items, but I have no confirmation that it was global.

I think you should check that point in order to avoid DDOS attacks.

Thank you for reporting this problem, we are aware of that and we are working both on a solution to limit certain queries and also improving the overall performance.
