Fix Plan

To address the issue, we need to implement a rate limiting mechanism to prevent exceeding the 500 calls/day limit of the WordOrb API.

Step-by-Step Solution

• Implement a token bucket algorithm to track API calls:
  • Initialize a counter for the remaining calls
  • Decrease the counter for each API call
  • Increase the counter at a fixed rate (e.g., 500 calls/day)
• Modify the wordorb_agent.py and daily_lesson_agents.py files to use the rate limiter:

import time

class RateLimiter:
    def __init__(self, max_calls, period):
        self.max_calls = max_calls
        self.period = period
        self.remaining_calls = max_calls
        self.last_update = time.time()

    def allow_request(self):
        current_time = time.time()
        elapsed_time = current_time - self.last_update
        self.remaining_calls = min(self.max_calls, self.remaining_calls + elapsed_time * (self.max_calls / self.period))
        self.last_update = current_time

        if self.remaining_calls >= 1:
            self.remaining_calls -= 1
            return True
        else:
            return False

# Usage example
rate_limiter = RateLimiter(500, 86400)  # 500 calls/day

def make_api_call():
    if rate_limiter.allow_request():
        # Make API call
        print("API call allowed")
    else:
        # Handle rate limit exceeded
        print("Rate limit exceeded")

make_api_call()

Verification

• Test the rate limiter with multiple API calls to ensure it correctly tracks the remaining calls and prevents exceeding the limit.
• Verify that the allow_request method returns False when the rate limit is exceeded.

Extra Tips

• Consider implementing a queue to handle requests that exceed the rate limit, allowing them to be processed when the rate limit is reset.
• Monitor API call usage and adjust the rate limiter configuration as needed to prevent exceeding the limit.
