Getting hit with error 429 - how do I fix or avoid this rate limit issue? or Why am I seeing error 42

Ugh, I feel you! error 429 is the worst. I kept hitting it too until I realized my script was firing requests like crazy.

Try using a delay between requests—even just 1-2 seconds can help. If you're coding, libraries like `requests` in Python have built-in retry logic with `requests.Session()` and `urllib3.Retry`.

Also, check if the API docs mention rate limits. Some services like Twitter or GitHub are super strict.

For testing, Postman's "mock server" can help simulate delays without hitting real limits.
