RVR-RDT-429

1. Issue Summary

   • The error code "429" indicates that the Reddit API has received too many requests in a given amount of time, triggering a rate limit error. The error "RVR-RDT-429" in the context of Rivery's Reddit data connector suggests that the API's usage limits have been exceeded. This is a common issue when the number of API requests surpasses the permitted threshold defined by the service provider.

2. Action Steps:

   • Wait Before Retry: Allow some time to pass to reset the rate limit. Usually, API rate limits are reset after a specific period, such as an hour.
   • Reduce Request Frequency: If possible, adjust the frequency of your requests. Implement backoff strategies to space out requests to the API.
   • Check Your API Quotas: Review Reddit's API usage guidelines to understand the specific quota limits and ensure your application does not exceed them.
   • Batch API Calls: Consolidate data requests where possible to minimize the number of API calls. This can help reduce the chance of hitting rate limits.
   • Implement Rate Limiting Code: Update your code to handle "429" responses gracefully by implementing retry logic with exponential backoff.
