[ensembl-dev] About rate limiting and REST service

[Paolo Cozzi]

Dear all,

I'm writing a library to deal with ensembl REST services and by doing 
some test I saw that the X-RateLimit-Remaining header is always on 54999 
request to do. You can try by doing two sample requests (on a Rate 
Limited IP address), for example:

$ curl -v 'http://rest.ensembl.org/archive/id/ENSG00000157764?' -H 
'Content-type:application/json'

You will see that X-RateLimit-Reset changes over time, but 
X-RateLimit-Remaining is always the same.

Could you check this issue?

Best regards,

Paolo
