Getting a '429 Too Many Requests' Error – How Do I Fix or Avoid It? or Why Am I Seeing '429 Too Many

Been there! The 429 too many requests error usually pops up when you’re hitting an API or site too hard.

One sneaky trick: if you’re scraping, try randomizing your request intervals. Like, don’t send requests every 1 second—mix it up between 1-3 seconds. Makes it look less bot-like.

Oh, and if you’re using Python, the `requests-ratelimiter` library is a lifesaver.
