I’m needing to get distances between each lake for a series of lakes. I’m running a shell script from the Mac OSX command line to request those distances, below is an example from the script. Due to the number of distances I’m eventually needing, ~28,000, I’ve broken them into separate scripts of 2,000 requests each, so I stay within the daily limit.
I ran the first script this afternoon, and after approximately 377 requests, it started throwing the “Daily quota reached or API key unauthorized” error. As it was running unattended, I didn’t notice the errors. It continued to throw the errors for the next 408 requests, then began working again for about another 500 requests, then threw the errors again so I cancelled the script. Any idea of what might be going on?
Also, I discovered that there is a response header that gives you your usage, X-RATELIMIT, but It’s not being returned to me when I post. Here’s is an example of everything that is being returned. (Please note that due to limitations on new users, I had to change the “.” to a “_” on ‘metadata":{“attribution”:"openrouteservice_org’ here in the topic so it wouldn’t count as a linked source.)
Distance from:to Alma City Lake KS -> Antelope Lake KS

I appreciate any help that you can provide.
Thanks.
