Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: API Ingestion With Rate Limits. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You're building a pipeline that pulls data from an external API into your application and downstream data systems. The API is useful, but it has request quotas and may return throttling responses during busy periods.
Describe a time you had to integrate a third-party API into your application. How did you handle rate limiting?
