api-rate-limiter

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents market-data pipelines from hitting provider quotas, reducing failed requests, wasted calls, and incomplete analysis when working with limited free-tier APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Quota-Aware Scheduling: Balance requests across Alpha Vantage, Finnhub, Polygon, and NewsAPI without exceeding minute or daily limits.
• Priority Fetching: Reserve limited calls for the most important tickers, alerts, and portfolio holdings first.
• Resilient Ingestion: Add batching, caching, backoff, and fallback logic so stock analysis and sentiment jobs keep running during throttling events.
• Use Case: A daily equity pipeline can process thousands of symbols by using fast bulk sources first, then spending scarce premium calls only on high-value instruments and news.

Quick Start

Use the api-rate-limiter skill to design a throttled market-data workflow that keeps API usage within quota while prioritizing the most important symbols.
