- | ==== API Details ==== | + | All the information presented via the API is intended to be open data and free to use for any purpose. As a public service of RepeaterBook.com, we do not charge any fees for the usage of this service. However, there are reasonable rate limits to prevent abuse and help ensure everyone has access. The rate limit is not public information but allows a generous amount for typical use. If the rate limit is exceeded, a request will return with an error and may be retried after the limit clears (typically within 5 minutes). Proxies are more likely to reach the limit, whereas requests directly from clients are not likely. |

+ | |||
+ | ===== Rate Limiting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Various actions of the API can be rate limited. The actual limits are not published. However, if a human user using a browser is querying the API, there should not be any throttling issues. If you receive a rate-limiting message, wait at least 10 seconds and up to 60 seconds to reset the limiter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The API is not intended for use by non-human-initiated (automated) transactions. If you have a business requirement that requires exceptions to the rate limits, please get in touch with the RepeaterBook administrator for pricing options. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Requested Improvements ===== | ||
