I’m depending on my users uploading image links, not image files. So my site actually requests this links from these external sites by including them on an element and getting the src from the database.
Could sites detect they are receiving lots of “requests” (no idea if it’s the right term) and block your url from doing more requests?
If they can, how many times would go unnoticed? Also are there policies like having to add a link to the source or something?
Sites can detect and block your IP address, especially if you are sending a lot of requests that could slow down their site and cause performance issues on their end. Having users post links shouldn’t be any issue though.
