I’m building a service which will need to access a certain Big Corp API which is limited to 5000 calls/24 hours from one ip address.
However I may have more than 5k customers who could need to access this api within a given day.
What is a way to overcome this? Can I use proxies or is there another way?
If the only condition is 5000 requests every 24h per IP, then the legal and not very expensive solution is to get a second, third or fourth IP addresses (ie, as many as you want) from which you make the requests.
It’s just a matter of getting additional DSL lines. Which is a totally feasible scenario if you are (or will be) making money from this.
