| is there a known way to request information for many shows all at once? I'm trying to get the scores of a couple hundred entries, and I know every id. can I save making a couple hundred calls here or is there no support? |

| As pepeefirat said, you cannot retrieve the details for an arbitrarily large batch of anime with a single API call. You have to request them individually by ID. Some exceptions are if you're querying one of the rankings or a user's anime list. In those cases, you can collect the anime IDs and all the additional fields you might need with a single request. |

| @ZeroCrystal I see, pretty unfortunate. I have a script that makes around 400 calls, but stops before 150 every time, regardless of the time gap I use (up to 1 second between queries). Does this have to do with the rate limit? this is the script I'm using if it helps: https://github.com/kathirmeyyappan/list-update-scripts/blob/main/python-scripts/update_mal_scores.py |

| @Uji_Gintoki_Bowl A delay of 700 ms should be enough. I suggest adding a timeout to your requests. If the response times out, wait for a few minutes and then try again. |

| @ZeroCrystal Good to know, thank you! I actually ended up finding a workaround. The vast majority of the id's I pull are on my list so I just paged my own anime list (3-4 500 entry calls) and then filled gaps with individual calls. This did not rate limit me, of course. |
