Hello!
I wanted to know which is the limit of images download through API per day (or week?). We are doing the first batch import of images and got the message :)
Many thanks!

Hi martin.fuentes,
There is no limit for images, we only rate limit calls to
api.themoviedb.org. The limit is 40 requests every 10 seconds.Cheers.

Hello Travis,
Many thanks for your answer! We have wait a while and execute our script again, and in the first call it already says we have reached the limit.
Best regards,

Keep in mind, the limits are only enforced by IP address, not API key so you can parallelize this by having 2 machines going. You can also monitor your rate limit status by inspecting the
X-RateLimitheaders.
