Tick History - rate of access to the token endpoint

JamesECatling · July 2021

I have a client who is using RTH to make small, but numerous API calls using Historical Pricing and Elektron Time Series Report Templates. Their use case uses serverless cloud technology so I believe they are making individual RIC requests. They are querying the number of authentication tokens they can generate and concurrently use. They have 2 IDs with a modest quota not met. Their workflow was working fine until recently. They are finding the documentation confusing for what seems to be a nuances use case. I am getting the Data Engineer on the Dev Portal and will @copy him in once I have done so.

Refer to the DataScope Select Best Practices & Fair Usage Policy:

Reuse Authentication Tokens for Faster Authentication
Creating and reusing an authentication token is the fastest and most efficient way of handling authentication. It is superior to providing a user ID and password each time you submit a request, and to creating a new authentication token each time you submit a request.

Authentication Token Limits 
An authentication token remains valid for 24 hours. If a token has expired, you simply create a new one. You can reuse a token as often as you like within that 24-hour period. You can create as many tokens as you want, as often as you want.

However, there is a request limitation regarding authentication.

If the application exceeds this limitation, it may get the Too Many Requests error, as mentioned in this thread.

Thank you @Jirapongse, I think the link to the prior question will really help. I have relayed the information to the client and see what he says, hopefully he will come on here if he has more questions.
