Quickly Issuing Multiple Requests Fails
posted by angelcaboSTAFFMOD on septembris 30, 2012 at 7:30 PM
Hello,
I am able to issue requests to the search endpoint with my API_KEY successfully when making one call. When I issue multiple requests back to back however the second request comes back with a 401.
For example: Request 1: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=key&query=mag Response: 200 OK
Request 2: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=key&query=tho Response: 401 Unauthorized
Is there a time period between requests I must wait before issuing multiple requests back to back?

Hi there,
You're probably running into the API request limits. You can read about them here:
http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/general/api-request-limits
Usually you'd see a 503 error, not 401 but I can't think of any other reason you'd be seeing anything like this.
