Research direction

Start by locating the API entry point and endpoint definitions mentioned by the issue. Determine the intended per-IP limits for rapid requests and batches before changing behavior, then identify how those limits can be verified across the API. Done means sustained or burst traffic from one IP is limited and the chosen behavior is covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement help wanted

There is no limit on traffic from a single IP. A script that uses the API is allowed to run indefinitely. Endpoints used in quick succession or batches are not limited.
