How do I use an issued API key in my python 3 script to bypass the request limiter? I got an API key from blockchain.info to bypass the request limiter, but I don't know how to use it and I can't find any relevant info online.



 url = "https://blockchain.info/rawblock/" + str(s)
        usock = urlopen(url)
        data = usock.read()


where variable s is the block height.

As the python blockchain.info API states:

https://blockchain.info/rawaddr/$bitcoin_address
Address can be base58 or hash160
Optional limit parameter to show n transactions e.g. &amp;limit=50 (Default: 50, Max: 50)

BUT it also states:

Request limits and API keys
In order to prevent abuse some API methods require an API key approved with some basic contact information and a description of its intended use. Please request an API key here.

The same API key can be used to bypass the request limiter.

However, I don't know how to incorporate it in the function.

Any advice is appreciated!
You need to get an "api_code", then use that when making calls.

You can use their official python client.
