Hello Devs,
I'm working on a tool to download tag information from e621 using the API. I was wondering what the API call limit is? I don't want to hammer the servers like crazy. Is there a limit or max rate?
Cheers,

Topic: Max API calls
Posted under e621 Tools and Applications
Two a second is a reasonable maximum rate. Avoid doing parallel requests. You get results at pretty much the same rate without them.

So there's no limit to the collective amount of API calls we can do per say, week?

Not right now. But please refer to https://e621.net/forum/show/192204 about how you should set up your client requests to avoid getting blocked if something goes wrong.

Okay sounds good, I planned on doing max one queue every 2 seconds.
Cheers
