[429] Too Many Requests: Too Many Requests

Developers Central
1

We have a scenario built in Make (formerly known as Integromat) that takes Survey123 submissions, filters them through a router and then most of the data is entered into a Coda table. The surveys can have up to 8 possible attachments. The attachments end up in a Google Drive folder, and then the make scenario takes the links from each of the attachments and upserts the links into the Coda row in 8 different columns. I believe this may be why we are getting the [429] Too Many Requests: Too Many Requests error, because it is trying to upload 8 links at the same time. The scenario still completes its workflow because we have added breaks, so it tries again when it throws the error.

It hasn’t always thrown the error, but now with every submission, we are getting the [429] Too Many Requests: Too Many Requests error. It is filling up our email with all the errors.

Is there anything that can be done to stop the errors?

Hi @Jennifer_Biggs - The Coda API has fairly low rate limits for writing content into a doc:

Writing doc content data (POST/PUT/PATCH): 5 requests per 10 seconds

Two workarounds are:

  1. Only make one API request, writing all 8 columns at once.
  2. Space out your requests so that they aren’t all clumped together.
