Rate Limit

[AkikoOrenji]

I notice we have a rate limit on our account: "api 1.0 actions/second (300.0 per 5 minute interval)"

Is this taken into account as part of this python library (is there a built in back off) and what happens if we go over this limit ? e.g. are blank records returned or is an error message is returned somewhere etc

My usage approx usage is

import censys.ipv4
ip  = "1.1.1.1"
c = censys.ipv4.CensysIPv4(api_id="blanked", api_secret="blanked")
c.view(ip)

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes so we have backoff installed with the library, but if the rate limit is reached the API will raise a CensysRateLimitExceededException. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
