429 error

Hi, we are a startup working on a chess game and we aggregate data, in particular Lichess games via the API's.

Even by waiting some minutes, we have very often 429 while we do our requests sequentially and not in the same time.

Is it possible to discuss with some team to see if we can bypass this limit because it's very restrictive for commercial use ?

Thank you,
Robert

I cannot promise that you'd get what you want, but you can certainly discuss this with the developers on discord: discord.gg/lichess (lichess-api-support).

I would recommend joining discord and use the api support channel there. I am guessing you are running into the same as here, but best to talk to devs : discord.com/channels/280713822073913354/1089908719636193320/1152927279152894053

( ddos -> tighter rate limits -> api users get blocked )
