Issue with finding all Pokemon in cells

[weaseel]

Hello,

first of all: thank you for that amazing project!

I currently struggle with finding all the pokemon around my location.

I set my location:
session.setCoordinates(lat, lng)

Then I call:
cells = session.getMapObjects(radius = 4)

After that I loop through the cells with:

for cell in cells.map_cells:
     pokemons = [p for p in cell.wild_pokemons] + [p for p in cell.catchable_pokemons]
     for pokemon in pokemons:
.....

But I only find very few pokemon (I scanned already a big area). Did anything change with the update tonight? I just finished this script yesterday evening, so I can't tell you if I would have found more pokemon in the last days.

I dont want to catch any of them. I only want to create a Database for myself to get the spawn points and spawn times of certain pokemon.

Thanks in advance!

edit: sorry for posting two issues... I just tried to edit the top line....

API started to throttle map object requests with last update. You cannot call getMapObjects more frequent than every 5 seconds. If you do, it returns an empty list of pokemons.

@ulasozguler Do you have a source for that information? I'd like to read about that, and any other API-side limitations that I don't know about yet.

@kwkroll32 There is no official information, of course. But you can read about it in dev subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev
Many mappers were down after update.

I'm having the same problem here.
Even tho I get reply on the mapobjects,
9/10 times there are no wild_pokemon, or catchable_pokemon
Only nearby_pokemon
But there are no coordinates for them, as I guess these are the pokemons inside the 'radar' and only showing pokemon_id, distance (always 200) and encounter_id

I get general empty cells they only contain s2_cell_id and a timestamp
