How to best query all movies

Hi. I am new to the API, sorry if my question has been answered already. Let's say I want to create a local database with all movies and their corresponding actors and budget/revenue. I read on the forums that it is best to iterate over the movie ids. From what I read in the documentation, you are allowed to make 30 requests every 10 secons. Doesn't this mean it would take like a whole day to get all entries?
best regards :)

Hi Shadow.88,
Yes, it probably would take about a day to get the first import with a single IP. We usually encourage more of a cache proxy type scenario where an app would query the API as it is requested and then caching the data for how ever long it makes sense for the app.
