Description
Hello,
We've been using the APIs available on https://blockstream.info/api for several months for monitoring balances on specific BTC addresses. We perform only a small number of requests per hour, but recently we've been getting `429` (Too Many Requests) errors consistently, even for a single request, thus I believe our IP might have been blocked.
Is there someone I can contact to get this sorted?
Moreover, what are the limits on requests per second/minute/hour, so that we can throttle our service accordingly, so this doesn't happen again?
Cheers
