Frequency of API requests

err, where? Theres no “30” on that page

The helix rate limit is 800 (refer to the Ratelimit-Limit header when you make a request)

If you call “Get Top games” once per minute

Then you can hammer out the 100 get stream requests as quick as you like as each request has a different game ID. So thats 100 different requests.

So then you don’t call the same game ID for another minute.

A “repeat request” is when the URL/params is the same.

So here you make 101 requests.

Wait a minute, then go again. Personally for something like this I’d probably fire every 5 minutes since theres unlikely to be significant changes one a per minute basis.
