request_limit: Check Request Limit
In ntyndall/footballstats: Classify and predict football results

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

A function that stores the number of requests made to the API within a given time period. If the limit is reached then the code will stall until requests are free to query the API again successfully. The API is constrained to 1000 request per hour (default), or x calls per t time. So this function is checked each time before an endpoint is hit and waits a given time if no requests are remaining.
