Help please

What is the rate numbers you get in the first call?

Don't know how to see the rate number - do you have somewhere instructions how to see it?

You get the values in the response headers, see https://www.geni.com/platform/developer/help/rate_limits?version=1

Anyhow: - how is your app implemented?

Your app is probably not approved and have a rate limit of 1, or you are trying to use the Api through a regular login and not using an approved AccessToken

From my C# code:

using (WebClient request = new WebClient())
{
    if (AccessToken != null)
      request.Headers.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {Uri.EscapeDataString(AccessToken)}");
    byte[] result = request.DownloadData(uri);
    RateLimit = int.Parse(responseHeaders["X-API-Rate-Limit"]);
    RateWindow = int.Parse(request.ResponseHeaders["X-API-Rate-Window"]);
    RateRemaining = int.Parse(request.ResponseHeaders["X-API-Rate-Remaining"]);
    return result;
}


To get max rate limit your app needs to be approved by Geni. But again: first confirm what your app limit is.
