Discussion on: How I used the Goodreads API to pick my next read

One thing that should be noted about the Goodreads API is that it is pretty slow and is also rate limited to 1 request per second (per endpoint, I believe).

I've been fiddling around with the API for a while now, but the idea that I had for it would require potentially quite a lot of requests so I keep putting it off.

Yep! The rate limit was a non-issue for me since I didn't need to make multiple requests for what I wanted to accomplish
