I've been coming back to the same project a few times. It's essentially just a program that interacts with an API. Only problem is whenever I get back to it, I realize how annoying it is to debug through all the "too many requests" responses I get back from the API because it has a max of 200 requests per second.

On solution would be to filter out those responses but that just feels like the wrong move, so I'm guessing the better solution would be to put some sort of rate limiter on my program. My two questions are: does that seem like a good solution and if it is, do I embed the rate limiter in my program, i.e. using the ratelimit crate or would a better solution be to run my program in a container and connect it to a reverse proxy(I think) container and control rate limiting from there?

I've used the governor crate and found it to work pretty well.
