I am trying to limit my API calls based on the below limit rates. To achieve this am trying to use ratelimit from python.
- Per second: 25 requests
- Per minute: 250 requests
- Per 30 minutes: 1,000 requests
I am able to use the per second limit based on rate limit as shown below:
from ratelimit import limits, sleep_and_retry
SEC_CALLS = 10
SEC_RATE_LIMIT = 1
@sleep_and_retry
@limits(calls=SEC_CALLS, period=SEC_RATE_LIMIT)
def check_limit_secs():
print(f'sec time: {time.time()}')
return
##Function Code:
for i in ID:
check_limit_secs()
url = 'https://xxxxxx{}'.format(ID)
headers = {
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
# Check the response status
if response.status_code == 200:
# Do something with the response data (e.g., print it)
print(i)
# print(response.json())
else:
# Print an error message if the request was not successful
print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")
This code stops me from hitting the API after 1 second, but I also want to limit it based on one minute and 30 minutes as well.
FYI: my code hits 25 requests in a second, that means after 10 seconds, my per limit rate would hit. That means my code should stop for about 50 seconds to full fill the per min limit.
Do I have to make multiple calls using ratelimit?
Alternatively use tenacity instead…
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_random_exponential
@retry(
reraise=True,
wait=wait_random_exponential(min=0.1, max=10),
stop=stop_after_attempt(3),
)
def check_limit(...):
.... your code
