Airtable API Rate Limit #7

Open kevinuulong opened 2 years ago

kevinuulong commented 2 years ago

The Airtable API rate limit is limited to 5 req/s. While I have not yet run into issues with it, any attempt to use this at scale will cause issues.

The API is limited to 5 requests per second per base. If you exceed this rate, you will receive a 429 status code and will need to wait 30 seconds before subsequent requests will succeed. Airtable API Docs

Eventually I hope to migrate away from Airtable at least for auth if not everything.

Further research into alternatives is under way and this issue is to keep track of that.
