Getting hit with HTTP 429 - How do you handle rate limiting effectively? or HTTP 429 errors slowing y

Honestly? I just cry.

But then I remember `backoff` libs exist.

For Python, `backoff` + `requests` is my combo. For JS, `axios-retry` does the trick.

And if all else fails, bribe the API devs for higher limits.

http 429 is why I have trust issues.

I’ve started using `rate-limiter-flexible` in Node apps. It’s like a bouncer for your requests.

Also, if you’re dealing with paginated data, fetch it all at once if possible. Fewer calls = fewer errors.
