Error: unexpected server response (429) about bitfinex-api-node HOT 5 CLOSED

hi @glaucoheitor, thanks for reporting!

429 is a "too many requests" error. You raise a good point which is an issue. The current entry point usually opens a new websocket. You can workaround the issue right now with passing autoOpen: false as option:

Example:

const bfx = new BFX('dummy', 'dummy', { version: 2, autoOpen: false })

Please note that this is not officially documented and may get removed in later versions.

In fact there is a more elegant solution planned, which would be a breaking change. As user of our API client your feedback would be really valuable: #41

This should be addressed so we dont get that much 429 errors.
Even using autoOpen: false it didnt resolved 100%.

I am using a time counter to not send more than one request every 2s.

@robertkowalski Don't you know by some chance what is exactly the server logic?

First I faced errors when I called several requests instantly.. Now I made 2sec delay but still have an issue with the last request:

It is always 10th request. How many seconds(minutes) should I wait to avoid this?

Thank you!

I noticed that I made a typo. limit is a correct parameter name. However the problem is still actual. What if I decide to simulate all BTC timeline in 1m frame? Sounds crazy but there must be a way how to solve this.
