something's really odd with the Update (as opposed to Search)
functionality. After doing this a few more times, 30 seconds is
actually an <i>optimal</i> time... 2-3 minutes waiting for one
game is not uncommon.<br>
<br>
It also seems to be spamming API requests - I've had several
instances where Tellico simply stopped returning anything from
MobyGames, whether trying to update or search. After a while it'd
start working again.... until it stopped. I finally tried poking at
the API server from my browser and got this response:<br>
<br>
{<br>
"code": 429, <br>
"error": "Too many requests", <br>
"message": "Yikes, you've exceeded the max rate limit of 360
requests/hour. Your limit will be reset in 3 minutes."<br>
}<br>
<br>
I've successfully updated 8 games this run, with three no matches,
and then I ran into the above. Somehow updating not even a dozen
games caused 360 requests.<br>
<br>
Is Tellico maybe doing a search for a match, then also searching for
all details of all possible matches before it shows you the list of
choices? That would somewhat explain the long delays and excessive
queries. Is that intended behavior?<br>
<br>
or am I perhaps doing something wrong? I'd be happy to describe my
full process, but I'm basically just adding a bunch of games with
(essentially) just Title and Platform, then multi-selecting them and
selecting Update, MobyGames from the context menu.<br>

I ran into an odd issue when updating a new item from a data
source. It seems to affect:<br>
<br>
1. any game entered with just a title<br>
2. multiple possible matches in the data source<br>
3. running an update against mobygames<br>
<br>
As an example, I created a new entry names Zool 2, a Jaguar game
(among other platforms). When I update the entry against
mobygames, it takes about 30 seconds to return a list of matching
games. When updating a list of new games, that adds up to an
awful lot of time spent waiting on search results.<br>
<br>
Couple additional notes:<br>
<br>
1. This is MUCH slower than searching for a game using the
Internet Search feature. Not sure why the search behavior from
the update process would be so much slower.<br>
<br>
2. Once the matching game/platform are selected, it completes the
update quickly, so this only seems to affect searching, not
pulling data for a particular game.<br>
<br>
Any ideas what might be causing this?<br>
<br>

thanks! I completely missed the import option. Will give that
a try.<br>

<div> is there a way to batch add items in tellico?
Eg., I already have a list of, let's say, 100 games
that I want to add. Currently, I'm searching,
selecting, then adding them one at a time. Instead of
that, is there some way to just feed it a list of
titles and let it do the searching and adding
automatically?</div>

<div>Books can do that with adding multiple ISBNs at a
time, for certain data source. But that's about the
extent of batch addition.</div>

<div>Sure, just import a text file, single title per line,
as a CSV. Then select multiple items and update from
data source.</div>
