[13:07:17] <arch2all>	 Hi folks, I have some questions about recent rate limit (429 error) on wikimedia APIs. Can anybody help me here?
[14:02:26] <arch2all>	 I have some questions about recent rate limit (429 errors) on wikimedia APIs. Isn't there anybody here who can help me?
[14:12:05] <fabfur>	 hello arch2all which issue are you experiencing with 429 ? 
[14:35:03] <arch2all>	 constant queries against https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?... deliver after some requests a 429 error. And there is no "retry-after" header set. If I wait a little bit it works again for some queries until 429 comes up again
[14:36:24] <fabfur>	 can you send me (in pvt) the complete error message returned ? 
[14:54:33] <AntiComposite>	 arch2all, first things first: do you have a descriptive user agent set? https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Wikimedia_Foundation_User-Agent_Policy
[15:01:55] <arch2all>	 AntiComposite thanks for the answer, fabfur (in pvt) helped me already
