New app approval - ACAC

When approved it should be max. What is the rate limit now?
Anyhow, you will always hit the rate limt, so just detect it, take a pause, and continue.

I wrote a simple bit of code to "throttle" my API calls (built into my API wrapper: I call it AFTER each API call. I know it's akward passing the URL of the last call. But using a getter for that would have been overly pedantic IMO.

// I set StartFrame in the objects' constructor.

   $this->StartFrame = time() +1;

| public function throttle ($LastURL) {
| $this->getRateHeaders ($LastURL);
|
| if ($this->getRemaining() == 0) {
| $this->StartFrame += $this->getWindow() + 1;
| //time_sleep_until($this->StartFrame);
| }
| }

I have NOT yet tested this, because my allowed rate is 1, until they approve my app. Insha Allah today. It would have been nice if the API also returned how much time was left until the end of the frame...

Is there any way to post a comment that avoids the text-formatting?

Shmuel - start a line with a space, and Geni have finally implemented a new indent option that is working.

You get a Rate Remaining value and can slow down before getting the exception.

I have the throttling implemented (of course anything can be improved), but the current rate limit is 1 request every 10 seconds.

Harald Tveit Alvestrand I've approved the app but given the content of what you're working on, I STRONGLY recommend you write a privacy policy and include its URL in your application configuration.

Thanks - and will do!

I plan to launch my app shortly, would be great if I could get it approved before then, thanks.

Mike Stangel thanks in advance. My app is read-only anyhow, it doesn't write any data to Geni.

Michael Shalom Fagan I've approved your app, which increases its rate limit to 40 queries every 10 seconds.

Much appreciated. Let me know if you want a demo. I'm aiming for a soft launch next week.

Any chance you'll be at RootsTech? :-D

Mike Stangel Aw sorry, it would have to be virtual. As a parent and full-time employee outside the genealogy field, that's not really an option for me :)
