How to Manage API and Proxy Limits
Have a Case with 100's or 1000's of queries?
Are you hitting API or proxy server limits? Nervous about overloading your search engine with too many requests too quickly? Never fear, that is what the Requests Per Minute setting on a Search Endpoint is for.
Go to the Search Endpoint page and specify how many Requests Per Minute you want to send. 60 means you send one request per second. 600 means 10 per second.
One thing to keep in mind is if you set up a Case to run nightly, or you ask the case to run in the background, then the queries are run in a single threaded one after the other fashion because it's a background process. In that situation the Requests Per Minute don't apply (and are not needed!).
