Ratelimits

[hp0404]

As noted in the docs, some ratelimits are applied:

• 'up to 10 requests per second'
• 'up to 40 requests per minute'

While I think it's possible (and probably a more straightforward approach) to implement with just time.sleep() method, it might be worth looking at ratelimit package.

A good example of how to ratelimit's decorators I think could be found in crossref's source code

With ratelimit it should be as easy as:

import requests
from ratelimit import limits

@limits(calls=40, period=60)
def make_request(url, endpoint, params={}, headers={}):
    r = requests.get(f"{url}/{endpoint}", params=params, headers=headers)
    return r.json()
