Ambient: The remote server returned an error: (429) Too Many Requests.

I am getting this warning in the log. The length of the API key is way longer than what I put in and there appears to be more than one. Both an api and an application key. The xxxx are from me for safety.

AW limit API request rate:

Each application is limited to 3 requests per second. That is shared between all the users of a particular app

An individual user is limited to 1 request per second.

The “lockout time” is just until the next second, so will have minimal impact on operation.

Problem is - the App key is shared between all users, that's why you are getting this.

So there are two options:

1. Force each user generate his own app key, which may be a pain for the user.
2. Ignore the 429 response and retry after 1 second.

I guess I will implement both - implement retry and expose the App key, so users have a choice

Ver 4.0.0.64 - configurable AppKey and retries (err 429)

In case of the error it should retry 3 times with 1 sec delay (still log the warning). If this doesn't help - you can also generate your own Application Key https://ambientweather.net/account

I did go into the website and I made a new key and entered it in. Thanks

EDIT: No more warnings in log. All good.
