Account Throttling and 503 Errors

[David Zahler]

I have been working on an aggregator for a client that allows them to
combine their blogger's delicious posts to a consolidated links list
under Moveable Type.

what we have been running up against is what appears to be throttling,
not from individual API calls but calls to multiple accounts. I am able
to retreive mayby two or three accounts worth of posts and then the aPI
starts returning 503s.

Has anyone else run into this type of issue?

Are you making calls to posts/all?

Because of the heavyweight nature of that call, we have to heavily
restrict it's usage, and issuing multiple calls in a short period of
time will get you blocked by the API. If you are looking to
consolidate recent posts, I'd encourage you to check out the posts/
recent api call. If that's the one that's getting you blocked after a
couple of hits, please let me know and we'll look into it.
