Does ScraperWiki rate limit sites it is scraping? -


does scraperwiki somehow automatically rate limit scraping, or should add sleep(1 * random.random()) loop?

there no automatic rate limiting. can add sleep command written in language add rate limiting.

very few servers check rate limiting, , servers containing public data don't.

it is, however, practice make sure don't overrun remote server. default, scrapers run in 1 thread, there built in limit load can produce.
