Rate limitation override

[PanosChtz]

I have a python program to make many JSON requests at http://localhost:3001/insight-api/tx/
However after a while I won't get any more replies, but get
{'status': 429, 'error': 'Rate limit exceeded'}
Also dashcore-node log shows
warn: Rate limited: { name: '::ffff:127.0.0.1', type: 'normal', visits: 10801 }
Only way to recover is to kill the node and restart it.
Any way to get around this?

@PanosChtz Haven't tried this myself, but I think this should help you: https://github.com/dashevo/insight-api#query-rate-limit

@thephez Thanks - however I tried both whitelisting localhost and disabling the query rate limiter entirely, but for some reason I still get the same error! Here's my dashcore-node.json..

{
  "network": "livenet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "@dashevo/insight-api",
    "@dashevo/insight-ui",
    "dashd",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "dashd": {
      "spawn": {
        "datadir": "./data",
        "exec": "/home/user/.dashcore/dashd"
      }
    },
      "insight-api": {
    "disableRateLimiter": true,
    "rateLimiterOptions": {
      "whitelist": ["::ffff:127.0.0.1"]}
  }
  }
}

So I just multiplied lines
https://github.com/dashevo/insight-api/blob/99a5ede0dfef0eb729f77cd7145a1ffc45779301/lib/ratelimiter.js#L43
and
https://github.com/dashevo/insight-api/blob/99a5ede0dfef0eb729f77cd7145a1ffc45779301/lib/ratelimiter.js#L35
by 100000 to get around this - but hopefully there is a cleaner way.

Hmm, not sure then. It looks like that's what's being done in mn-bootstrap so it seems like it should work. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this. At least you have a workaround for now.
