Limits seem to be missing from the site and code that used it no longer runs properly. it is still mentioned in the page description so has it been removed or is there some setting I’ve changed by accident. I can get the same data by calling multiple pages and compiling the data but that is a lot less clean.
The limit parameter has been removed from the API.
By matching the limits of the site’s UI, the Redis cache is shared/hit for queries. When people used custom limit sizes, they would just miss the Redis cache, making the queries way more expensive anyway.
Analytics also showed people just wanted the top 100 ranks for nearly all uses of this API.
