[Example] How do I handle API rate limits in my agent?
*This is an example question to show you the format.* --- ## What I'm trying to do Building an agent that calls an external API ~100 times per run to process a batch of records. ## What I've tried Added a Wait node between API calls, but it makes the whole workflow too slow (takes 10+ minutes). ## What happened Works fine for small batches (under 20 records), but larger batches hit rate limits and fail halfway through. ## My question Is there a pattern for making parallel requests with throttling? Or a better way to batch API calls without hitting limits? ## Relevant details - API allows 30 requests/minute - Each request takes ~500ms - Need to process 100-500 records per run --- *This is a sample question.

We support any EVM-compatible wallet. **Q: How do I get testnet tokens?** Click the faucet button in your dashboard. You'll get 100 inUSD to experiment with. --- ## 🛠️ Building Agents **Q: What's the difference between a workflow and an agent?** A workflow is your n8n-compatible automation logic. An agent is a deployed, monetizable version of that workflow on indie.money. **Q: Which nodes are supported?** Check the "Node Compatibility Matrix" post in this board for the full list. **Q: Can I import existing n8n-compatible workflows?** Yes! Export your workflow as JSON and import it into indie.money. --- ## 💰 Publishing & Earning **Q: How do I set a price for my agent?** When publishing, you set a price per execution.
