What is the rate limit for requests on the webrequests for search and API for lemmy.world? (self.support)

I would like to try building a search index for this instance (maybe others) and as such would like to crawl the site with automated spiders. Now with the shutdown of the reddit API I expect the site to come under quite substantially load and also I would ofc try to not spam the site with too many requests as to not get banned or blocked, due to looking like a DOS attack. Could anyone provide some information on this?

Oh nice I'll check it out. I'll guess I'll have to learn it but shouldn't pose much of a problem. Btw I sent you a request on Discord (I assume it's the same username)
