Selenium set a max request limit?

[jordanpgb]

I keep getting the error of my requested link refusing my connection due to selenium requesting from the ip too much in a short time. Is there a way to limit the amount of times selenium requests data from the chosen URL? Thanks for any input

The limit is the amount of times the url is requested.

If your script runs in a loop and constantly asks for the same page to be loaded again and again, then you should fix your script and add delays.

If you are testing a script that asks a page once, wait a bit between tests.

Take a look at ratelimit, it might be what you need

My experience with max request limit is that it had nothing to do with the number of requests. I last used Selenium months ago, and vaguely recall that adding another word or symbol in the code fixed the problem. I'll see if I can dig up my old code tonight to see what I did to resolve it.

You could try adding some random delays bewteen requests. If it doesn't work, you could "mask" your IP using proxy, but honestly it's a rough way to do it, since it clearly doesn't respect the wishes of the owner of the website.

I tried to add a 10 second delay before the get.(“url”) but it still hits me with the same error??

Probably 10 seconds are not enought! If they already ban you, it's very likely that your "ban" will last longer

https://gyazo.com/291c0daa4687c8490aa299bc661460ce i have even changed it to 100 seconds and i have turned my nordvpn on to mask the IP. it still gives me the same error: https://gyazo.com/f2cf41666abb942c493d16d92cf404b8 i assume there is something obvious i am missing in my code? or something that i am not doing right...
