"Error message: overspeed" when trying to acquire cid

[dogtopus]

I know that this project has been discontinued, but decided to post this issue anyway just for future reference.

It seems that similar issue also exists in Biligrab (cnbeining/Biligrab#30)

Log:

Thank you for your report. I will wait for Biligrab's response, because the parsing kernel is ported from that project.

Just tried it again and the problem no longer existed. Seems like an API quota issue. Do Bilibili have API quotas like Youtube? I am not very familiar with Bilibili's API...

[cnbeining]

Yes in their documentation.

@cnbeining Too bad :( I have a feeling that this problem will reappear again at any time. API key authentication just don't work very well with open source projects :(

[cnbeining]

From the agreement I've met with them I am not supposed to release new API keys, so I do not bother to get a new one.

We could do a pool though.
