The Movie Database Support

It said that image.tmdb.org has no request limit.

However, if I access it more than 40 times, it returns a status code of 429.

Is there a limit?

{ URL: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/cxyva3ARRW1wdFfZzmD5rc3p49P.jpg } { Status Code: 429, Headers {
    "Content-Length" =     (
        2350
    );
    "Content-Type" =     (
        "text/html"
    );
    Date =     (
        "Sat, 06 Aug 2022 02:21:41 GMT"
    );
    Server =     (
        "BunnyCDN-SG-715"
    );
    "cdn-limit" =     (
        true
    );
    "cdn-requestid" =     (
        34089e6085fe4b9c35cb96396eee9918
    );
} } 429

Thank you in advance for your help.

One of our CDN providers enforces some base level rate limiting to help prevent DDOS attacks.
I believe it's a maximum of:
50 requests per second and
20 connections per IP.

Hi @Tatsuya-ss,

The info @ticao2 mentioned is for api.themoviedb.org. For image.tmdb.org, the only thing we limit is the max number of simultaneous connections. The limit is the same, 20.
