We are planing to use the Routing API (non tiled) on our Android App. We hope to deploy the App for several thousands of App users. We see that 5 requests per second limitation would be fine if it is counted per Android App deployment. It would be severely limiting and not work if the count is 5 per sec for all the Android App users that we deploy to. Please help clarify how the throttling is applied.
Thank you.
The limit is applied to a particular key. Write to us via Contact us page with the details about expected traffic and we can discuss what is possible.
Thank you Prezmek. I will write to the contact page and will discuss further.
On a related question for the Web SDK and Batch processing, what is the rate of batch processing requests that can be submitted with one key? I understand that there is a max of 100 Route API requests that can be put into in a Batch Routing call for the Synchronous response kind. Would I be able to submit 5 Batch routing requests, in essence making requests for 500 routing calls. These 500 would be for 500 different source/destination routes. I understand this would take 500 credits.
Thanks
Batch is also respecting qps limits while processing requests.
So batch of 10 requests should be processed within ~2sec.
If you put five batches of 100 queries it will take 500 / 5 = ~100 seconds (+time for communication and computation)
Thank you Przemek for the quick reply
