- I was kind of confused about the what "simultaneous connections" mean
- Initially, I though a connection mean a request to CDN ( for images posters, backdrops, logos ) and a request to api for fetching movies and shows
- Then I used studied the headers and keep alive connections and came to a conclusion or undrestanding that a connection or open connection mean a path between client IP address and the CDN/Api
- So if I'm only using api.themoviedb.org/3/movie or discover or tv it means a connection is counted
- if I'm using image.tmdb.org/t/p/ to fetch image another connection is counted
- So the amount of simultaneous connection would be 2 and exactly 2 if i'm only using these 2 hostnames ( regardless of what endpoints I use further e.g. disover/tv/movie )
- SO EVEN IF my app is requesting let's say like 100 images simultaneously ( when the homepage loads ) ( using hostname: image.tmdb.org ) while it's fetching movies or shows simultaneously let's say like 40 movies at the same time concurrently ( as the limit is 50 per sec ) ( using hostname: api.themoviedb.org ) the total number of connection would be exactly 2 ( two hostnames are used ) not 140 simultaneous connection ( 100 for image and 40 for movies )
Please a clarifications by mod and @travisbell would mean a lot, I'm stuck on this from past few days as I dont wanna get a ban or blacklisted for hit and trial of my app.
Thanks You
