Re: [Wikitech-l] RESTBase multiple pages with one request

Toni, we heavily use caching to speed up the REST API, so making individual requests is the fastest way to retrieve content. You can use parallelism to achieve your desired throughput, and with HTTP/2 all those parallel requests can even share a single TCP connection. The request limit for the API overall is 200 req/s, as documented in https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc.
