'how to avoid 429 error requests.get() in python?

I'm trying to get some data from pubg API using requests.get().

While code was excuting, response.status_code returned 429.

After I got 429, I couldn't get 200.

how to fix this situation?

Here is part of my code.

for num in range(len(platform)):
   url = "https://api.pubg.com/shards/"+platform[num]+"/players/"+playerID[num]+"/seasons/"+seasonID+"/ranked"
   req = requests.get(url, headers=header)
   print(req.status_code)

[output]
200
429

As mentioned by sam, HTTP error 429 means you are making too many requests in a certain amount of time.

According to the official PUBG API documentation, the API actually tells you these rate limits by sending an additional header called X-RateLimit-Limit with every request. Each request also has a header called X-RateLimit-Remaining which tells you how many requests you have currently left until the next rate reset which happens at the time specified in the third header X-RateLimit-Reset.

Since you seem to use the requests library, you can access these headers with a simple req.headers after making your request in python.
