For those of you who use the Amazon Product Advertising API, what experience have you had with running into their throttle? Supposedly, the limit is set at 1 request per second, is that your experience?
I want my site to grow to be nation-wide, but I'm concerned about its capability to make all the Amazon API requests without getting throttled. We cache all the responses for 24 hours, and also throttle our own users who make too many searches within a short period.
Should I be concerned? Any suggestions?
I believe they have changed it. Per this link: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=199771
Hourly request limit per account = 2,000 + 500 * [Average associate revenue driven per day over the past 30 days period]/24 to a maximum of 25,000 requests per hour.
