Minor change in HTTP Response Status Code

$

Hey all - We are making a minor change in how we notify your application that it has hit the rate limit. This is not a change to your rate limit, it's merely a change in the format of the response we return.

Currently, when you reached a rate limit, we return an error response that included an HTTP status code of 403. This status code is changing. On August 1, we will start returning an status code of 429 when you've exceeded your rate limit. If you rely on the HTTP status code to determine if you've exceeded the rate limit, you should update your code to check for the new 429 response code. If you are using pyechonest, you should update to the latest version.
