Getting hit with a 429 response code - how do you handle rate limiting? or Why am I seeing a 429 resp

Been there! My hack? Cache responses whenever possible.

If the API data doesn’t change often, just store it locally for a bit. Saves you from hitting the 429 response code repeatedly.

Also, tools like Postman can help test rate limits before you even code.

And yeah, some APIs are *super* vague. I’ve resorted to… *aggressive* Googling to find hidden docs.
