Hi @Ayan
You can find the list of all the possible Rest API error codes from the link below.
https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/StatusCodes
The detailed description of 429 error code:
"This response is returned if the client has exceeded their allowed number of requests or requested data-points. The error message will include the best recourse to resolve this issue. This may be include reducing the number of instruments per request, reducing the number of data points, reducing the number of requests per hour or reducing the number of concurrent requests."
When you received this error, there should be a message at the end stating the cause of the issue
For example:
"Too many requests for resource. Resource 'Extractions', Attempted '36550', Maximum '30000'"
The Extraction Limits can be found on the Help page. https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/ExtractionLimits
We are downloading VBD files, and we downloaded it yesterday also using the same commands. That time there were no such error.

@Ayan, you need to check the error message that is delivered with the HTTP 429, it should contain instructions on what to do.
From our page on HTTP status codes:
This response is returned if the client has exceeded their allowed number of requests or requested data-points. The error message will include the best recourse to resolve this issue. This may be include reducing the number of instruments per request, reducing the number of data points, reducing the number of requests per hour or reducing the number of concurrent requests.
It does not shows any comments only the response, rest of the part is as usual response. Once i use -v option in curl command then only I could see the response.
The 429 response body should have a JSON object containing the error status.
That error should give you more information on the error.
If you use -s option, then add --show-error to make curl show an error message.
