Current web service rate limiting documentation

We’ve just added a page that documents what we’re currently blocking on our Web Service. We hope to lift the block on python-musicbrainz/0.7.3 tomorrow and instead throttle the number of requests it can make in a given period of time.

I’ll post another entry once we’re done with making those changes.

    What will the proposed limit be? Will headphones still be viable?

    I am an oblivious end user, should I worry about running my collection through musicbrainz occasionally?

    End user of the picard tagger, that is.

    reosarevok:

    Headphones: third-party add-on for SABnzbd.

    There’s <a href="https://github.com/rembo10/headphones/issues/386"a ticket for this problem in the GitHub repository already.

    Thanks for the docs at XML Web Service/Rate Limiting – very useful.
