C# (429) Too Many Requests

Question

I've been using the WebClient in C# to get specific data from a webpage. That works well until I do it more than 2 times. If I do it more than more than 2 times it gives me the "(429) Too Many Requests." error. I have looked at other questions regarding this issue, by the way.

Answer 1

It is not a C# problem. It is response from the web server. Probably some kind of anti-DOS filter. Try to make a pause between requests i.e. System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000); before each requests.
