I am having trouble developing with rate limits in mind. Is there a way to simulate the rate limits being exceeded for sending sms and getting messages?
Testing Rate Limits
It's very easy to exceed the rate limit. There is no way to simulate it but as you wish, just put the API call function in a loop and call more times than the rate.
This is a simply example using Node JS
for (var i=0; i<60; i++) { await send_sms() } async function send_sms(){ try{ var resp = await platform.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', { from: {phoneNumber: "fromNumber"}, to: [{phoneNumber: "toNumber"}], text: "Hello from Node JS", }) var jsonObj = await resp.json() console.log("SMS sent. Message status: " + jsonObj.messageStatus, jsonObj.id) var obj = resp.headers console.log(obj) }catch(e){ console.log(await e.response.json()) } }
