Information about rate limitations. #50

Right now we just ask for devs to be reasonable about their request rate, which should be around 1 request per minute. We're not being super strict on our rate limits, but we'll definitely blacklist abusers (it's very obvious if someone is abusing). I'll add this to the docs.
Ah excuse me, a reasonable rate limit should be 1 request per second. Sorry!
Oh that's a relief. Out of curiosity though, what if I have an "update loop" set to run every minute, upon which 7-8 concurrent requests are made to the API. That would be way more than 1 requests per second, but only 7-8 requests per minute.
That's fine, we look at requests usually in either day or hour chunks.
Are these Informations still valid? Where can I find the documentation page how many request are legit and how many are the total maximum?
I currently have little knowledge about the allowed amount of API requests per minute, and I don't dare spam the API to find out in case of IP black-listing. It would be very helpful to include some information about this in these docs, including an example of what the API would return if the rate limit was exceeded.
