2500/(24*60) = 1.73 query/minute => 34.56 sec delay. > > After some 50 requests, I started receiving the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT > message. (To be clear, I was doing this from my home account.

These limits were obviously not exceeded. But obviously 5 queries per second will run out your daily quota in 500 seconds = 8.3 minutes, so that has to only be true for some small number of requests. Have you tried a constant delay between requests (maybe start at 2 minutes and increase if you keep running into the limit). Or spreading the 300 request over a full day? -- Larry > > I do not know how else to proceed in gathering this proof-of-concept > data.
