There is a set limit on the number of requests per hour that IPs and users can make. Currenty this limit is set at
300 calls per hour.
Any request that exceeds this limit will return a
429 (Too Many Requests) HTTP status code and will be discarded. The API uses
GitHub style HTTP headers to inform about the current rate limit status:
X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 258
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1372700873
For all calls to search methods, additional rate limiting applies. Currently this limit is set at
2 calls per 10 seconds. Please keep track of that limit yourself.
