Rate Limiting¶

Prevent bank API throttling by adding a delay between bank imports.

"delayBetweenBanks": 5000

The delay is applied between banks, not before the first bank or after the last one. It lives at the top level of config.json, not per-bank.

When to use¶

• You have 3 or more banks and at least one of them aggressively rate-limits scrapers.
• You see Too many requests or sporadic auth failures after several successful banks.
• Your VM is a shared IP (Oracle Cloud free tier, Hetzner shared) and back-to-back hits look suspicious to the bank's WAF.

Per-bank tuning¶

Rate limiting only delays between banks. For per-bank scraper tuning (timeout, retries), see Bank options.

Concurrency¶

Banks always run sequentially — never in parallel. This is by design: the Camoufox browser is single-instance, and parallel scrapes would share session state. delayBetweenBanks adds an explicit pause on top of the natural sequential ordering.
