Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Feature Description
I’d like to propose an enhancement to how the bot interacts with the CoinGecko API. Right now, while we’re successfully pulling data from the API, we need to ensure that we’re managing our requests effectively to avoid hitting any rate limits. This will help us maintain a smooth operation without interruptions.
Use Case
Implementing better rate limiting will make a huge difference in how the bot performs. By adding features like a request queue and exponential backoff for failed calls, we can ensure that the bot continues to operate reliably even during busy times. It will also keep our users informed about the status of their requests, making the experience much smoother.
Benefits
Adding this feature will bring several benefits:
1)Better Reliability: Users will experience fewer interruptions and delays when fetching data.
2)Enhanced User Experience: With a more responsive system, users will trust the bot more and feel confident using it.
3)Efficient API Use: We'll reduce unnecessary API calls, which can save us from hitting those annoying rate limits.
