Documents the approach for opt-in rate limiting to prevent exceeding Flickr's 3600 queries/hour limit. Complements existing 429 retry handling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implement opt-in rate limiting that throttles requests to respect Flickr's documented 3600 requests/hour limit. This is proactive throttling (sleeping before requests) as opposed to the existing reactive retry handling (retrying after 429 responses). New public functions: - set_rate_limit(requests_per_hour) - Enable/disable rate limiting - get_rate_limit() - Get current configuration - get_rate_limit_status() - Get detailed status including interval Internal function _maybe_wait_for_rate_limit() is called at the start of _make_request_with_retry() to sleep if necessary before making each request.

Add exports for set_rate_limit, get_rate_limit, and get_rate_limit_status to make them accessible via flickr_api.set_rate_limit() etc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
