rate_limited

Too many requests · HTTP 429

When you get this error

The key made more requests in this minute than the limit: 600 for a live key, 120 for a test key.

What to do

Wait the number of seconds in the Retry-After header, then try again. Keep an eye on RateLimit-Remaining to avoid this.

Example

application/problem+json
{
  "type": "https://developers.mitgliederbuch.de/errors/rate_limited",
  "title": "Too many requests",
  "status": 429,
  "detail": "The limit for this key has been reached. Try again after the number of seconds in Retry-After.",
  "instance": "/v2/members"
}

The type field is the same in every language; title and detail follow Accept-Language. Build your error handling on type.
