Thanks for the reply. So as i understand it i am not being rate limited, it just doesn't find any results to return for the specific keywords. In that case should i wait for the amount of time specified on the Retry-after field to make a new search? If i don't wait will that lead to my ip getting blacklisted or it will just not return accurate search results? Thanks in advance.
