Hi @willywang,

Let me add a real world experience to Chavalit's answer:

I have some Python code with a loop on 100 items. Inside the loop there is a request (tr.get_news_story). Running my code gave me a 429. After adding a 50 millisecond pause in the loop the error disappeared.

To add the pause I added this to my imports:

import time

And here is the loop:

for i in enumerate(index):
    ...
    time.sleep(0.05)
    ...

You might need to tweak the pause duration to ensure you do not hit the limit. For my code, 30 ms sometimes worked, but sometimes it failed, so I finally settled for 50 ms.

Hope this helps.
