Hi Tom, Per: https://docs.peeringdb.com/howto/work_within_peeringdbs_query_limits/ - Anonymous queries limited to 20/minute per IP address - Authenticated queries limited to 40/minute per user or organization (when an organizational API key is used) This comes from a set of HOWTOs that may be of interest to others, including one on the caching software peeringdb-py: https://docs.peeringdb.com/howtos/ The Seattle IX uses peeringdb-py to perform many queries of PeeringDB per day to inform its web site and route servers, with nil impact to PeeringDB itself, since the queries hit a local database instead. There are also query limits for repeated identical from unauthenticated queries. These are per IP address and per /24 or /64 address block. If you want to dig into the Django code for throttling, check out: https://github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb/blob/master/peeringdb_server/rest_throttles.py Let me know if you have other questions. I volunteer on PDB Ops. Chris _______________________________________________ Pdb-tech mailing list Pdb-tech@lists.peeringdb.com https://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-tech
