Quick questnon about batching requests

I'm updating a very old script of mine that has the ability to check a catalog of users against this database. I am looking for ways to speed up bulk processing of users, so decided to try out the batch processing. The documentation states that the limit per batch is 15, so my question is whether the limit is per pair of requested data (username, email, and ip) ore each individual data point.

Here is my code for reference

Re: Quick questnon about batching requests

I'm glad you posted this and I was scratching my head at your PM

its 15 per request with ip/email/username/emailhash each being one field

so api?ip[]=1.2.3.4&ip[]=2.3.4.5&ip[]=3.4.5.6 is 3 of our 15 field limit per request.

now that the API is hosted entirely on cloudflare workers, you'll get an award if you can actually DoS the API so feel free to hurt it

Once I replaced the code with the link then it went through.

So then to clarify, a batch request with three  ips and two emails count as three hits.

Re: Quick questnon about batching requests

Do rate limits apply? Is this documented and I misssed it?

The script I use is a modified version of Stop Spammer for SMF and it has a check for a rate limit in the request string

		if (strpos($response, 'rate limit exceeded') !== false) {
			return allowedTo('moderate_forum') ? fatal_lang_error('stopspammer_limitexceded') : 8;
		}
