API Limitations

The application uses StackOverflow's API to source the data. Detailed docs can be found at https://api.stackexchange.com/docs.

Every application is subject to an IP based concurrent request throttle. If a single IP is making more than 30 requests a second, new requests will be dropped. The exact ban period is subject to change, but will be on the order of 30 seconds to a few minutes typically. Note that exactly what response an application gets (in terms of HTTP code, text, and so on) is undefined when subject to this ban; we consider > 30 request/sec per IP to be very abusive and thus cut the requests off very harshly.

The max of the daily request limit for the applications is 10,000.
