error because of requests limit

[irinakarpenko]

Hello!

I wanted to use your api in a study project to realize an Android app using some technologies which are new for me, but already reached requests limit and my app doesn't work :(( it seems that I will need to switch to use other api, but I wanted an app devoted to Rick and Morty :(( can we do anything about the limit? Thank you for consideration!

Hi @irinakarpenko,
Thanks for letting me know about the rate limit issue.

The rate limit is there to make sure that the server can handle a large amount of traffic. You have a couple of options to deal with this:

• Save the the data and use it locally.
• Save the data as .json files and use that in development (you could fetch the entire database with three calls using an array of ids, check here.
• Implement some sort of cache in your project.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the answer! I tried to implement cache using okhttp, but today I already won't be able to request the server, so tomorrow I will know whether it works :)
