The Movie Database Support

Concurrent HTTP requests
posted by JeSajaSTAFFMOD on May 9, 2020 at 8:58 AM
I'm creating an app which uses TMDB API to fetch the movies info
I read that the rate limit has been disabled. Apart of this, is there a reasonable maximum number of concurrent HTTP requests I could make from my app?
Sometimes I need to refresh the local DB in order to keep fresh data, I don't know if there's some protection in order to reduce the DDOS attacks. I don't want to get my API key banned...
Can you help me?

Hi @JeSaja, there's no soft or hard limit that I can say would be a problem. Short spikes in traffic every now and then won't be likely to cause a problem, but if we detected you were going full on for days and days, it could be something that is a problem.
