requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url

Question

Im working on pycharm flask and im trying to get similar news articles using: from googlesearch import search and I also called all the necessary libraries like:

pip install google
pip install googlesearch-python
pip install search_google

My code in app.py:

    news_title = article.title  # title of the article given by the user 
    similar = search(news_title, num_results=5)

but I'm getting an error:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url:

See stack trace below.

Answer 1

429 Too Many Requests means that

The HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").

A Retry-After header might be included to this response indicating how long to wait before making a new request.

You should limit number of queries in given amount time to avoid such situation.
