Overview<\/strong>
To ensure smooth performance and avoid potential API blocks, we recommend optimizing your API requests based on best practices. This guide explains API limits, error handling, and optimization techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. API Rate Limits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To maintain service stability, API requests should be limited to 20 requests per minute per account<\/strong>, even if multiple IPs are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excessive API calls may trigger Web Application Firewall (WAF) restrictions<\/strong> and lead to temporary blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. How to Avoid Blocks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Cache API responses<\/strong> instead of making repeated calls for unchanged data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Limit requests<\/strong> to essential updates only (avoid API calls on every page request).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use pagination<\/strong> when fetching large datasets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    3. Troubleshooting API Blocks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you experience an API block:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Check your API logs for excessive requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Optimize backend logic to reduce unnecessary API calls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Contact support if you need assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
