I asked this question on reddit, but I thought I would also ask here:

So I hit the api end point, using guzzel: https://public-crest.eveonline.com/market/prices/
Then, if you look at this json, I looped over each item, hitting the href to get further details about said item. So for example:

https://public-crest.eveonline.com/types/32772/

I eventually got the error:

cURL error 52: Empty reply from server

Now either this means that I hit the rate limit of 400 for a burst, as there are like 10'000+ items or, one of the items, not knowing which, doesn't have a response when you hit the href for that item.

If the Rate limit is the answer. How do you get around this? the only way I can think of it is to store what information I can in the database and then every minute or so go out and do 150 requests to get the detailed item info and repeat that every minute till I have all the information.

That seems a bit much.

Is there an easier way?

Does guzzel not have a rate limit option?

There are a few types that have an error on TQ right now. Hoping to get a quick fix for that in today for next weeks release if I am incredibly lucky. I also plan on changing the response code for rate limiting to 429 Too Many Requests so it should be more obvious.
