Getting hit with HTTP error 429 - how do I handle too many requests? or HTTP error 429: What’s the be

Title: HTTP error 429 - how do I slow down my requests effectively?

Hey y’all,

So I keep getting hit with http error 429 (too many requests) when I’m testing my API. Annoying af!

I know it’s rate limiting, but how do I actually *fix* it without just guessing?

Tried adding delays, but it’s either too slow or still triggers the error.

What’s your go-to way to handle this? Backoff algorithms? Or just tweaking the delay timing?

Also, is there a way to check the rate limits *before* getting slapped with http error 429?

Thanks in advance!

(PS: If you’ve got code snippets, even better. Python preferred but anything helps!)
