How many times can you make a request in a day?
I've not come across any limits. Theoretically, it would be the following:
24h * 60m * 60s * 1000ms = 86,400,000ms in a day. Divide that by 600ms delay per call (NBA throttle) = 144,000 calls in a 24hr period.
You'll have to give it a try and let us know. When I was determining the throttle, I didn't go millisecond by millisecond. 500ms hit the throttle, 600ms didn't. I didn't experiment with values in between. If you want to squeeze more calls in and find the absolute minimum value, please share. :-D
I'm using random delay between requests from 0.5sec to 1sec and never had issues
limit is high enough to the point where it shouldn't impact nearly all programs, just to be safe however I wouldn't go below .3
