Is the Nominatim Request Limit Done Automatically?

Sorry for the noob question but apparently there is a limit of 1 request per second when using Nominatim. I'm using this through PHP. Would I have to manually limit requests to 1 per second or is this done automatically when sending a request through to the API?

Thanks!

3	You have to do that on your end. A simple `sleep(1);` in PHP after each API request already helps. permanent link answered 08 Jun '17, 15:39 mtmail 4.8k●15●74 accept rate: 27%
