<p>Hi Ben,</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion! Now after each request the script will
wait 1-5 seconds before making the next request.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

For the past few days I've been working on Bug Safari, which
is a Python <br>
script that gets statistics for Plasma bugs and sends a
report to the <br>
#plasma room on Matrix, which is one of the dot points for
KDE's <br>
Automation goal.<br>
<br>
I've now got the script uploaded to Invent at <br>

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://invent.kde.org/bbonacci/bug-safari</a>
for anyone to look over, make <br>
improvements or implement.<br>

<div>Thanks for this, I have just had a quick look over the
code and it overall looks pretty reasonable, and also
follows best practice of setting it's own user agent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One small suggestion would be to add some small sleeps in
to ensure that the server endpoints don't get hammered by
your requests.</div>
<div>While the script by itself is fairly innocent, if similar
scripts were added for a series of other channels and they
all ran at the same time, this could result in a rush on the
server that could make it inaccessible to normal users (or
at the very least impact responsiveness).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Adding some sleeps (ideally for a random number of
seconds as people tend to pick the same cron times to run
stuff on) will ensure this doesn't become an issue.</div>
