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

http error 429 means you’re going too fast, but the fix depends on the API.

Some APIs (like Twitter) have strict limits, while others are more forgiving.

Try this:
- Use `curl -v` or Postman to inspect response headers for `X-RateLimit-*` or `Retry-After`.
- If nothing’s there, email the API support—they might give you the limits.

No docs? Start with 1 request/sec and adjust.
