Rate limiting on apis?

Hey,

Is there a rate limit on the amount of requests I can make on the gw2 apis now? I can’t seem to make 272 requests (for 200 items each) to update my database every 5 minutes anymore.

I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me.

Sincerely,
RebornGeek

There’s no rate limit on our end. Be advised though that pulling all items every 5 minutes is probably unnecessary — the existing items won’t change unless the build id from /v2/build increases and new items are only added by hand (infrequently).
