api request retrieves 429 code

AlexanderDemidov

I make many posts through API (post and patch pairs /api/discussions) from another site script. Аt once after of a successful pair of post and patch the script retrieves the request 429 code (too many requests). I think it works a antiflooding thechnology. How I have to control the stream of posts to the forum API? Any ideas?

Use a master key for your API:

Generate a 40 character random, unguessable string, this is the Token.
Manually add it to the api_keys table using phpmyadmin/adminer or another solution.

luceos api_keys

so, I have to join discussion post and an user. A token is taken from auth api defines an user.
What to do In this case (api keys) ?

AlexanderDemidov the master api key is unique and allows actions on behalf of any users. I forgot to explain that my apologies:

If you look at a test I wrote for a simple example implementation of an api client. You can see you have to append ; userId=<int> to the request to make the call on someones behalf. The master key does not have any throttling.
