too many request error

[sinan-aydogan]

If the number of small-sized videos is high, Vimeo API gives the error "You have made too many requests" and stops downloading.

hey @sinan-aydogan, yes they have throttling on their end (you'll get 429 exception) you can't hit them as much as you want, probably adding proxies can solve this issue

What if we had the option to add a delay between downloads or set a limit of downloading a maximum of 20 videos in an hour?

Example:
laradown --dowload-limit=20 --limit-type=hour

I have already added a timeout or delay so you don't hit 429 but it is not exposed as parameter...
