Avoiding RateLimit
Hi,
When I use the dropbox (python) API (for creating paper doc) after ~ 100 new doc created, the process is stucked.
When I break the process I can see this is due to a Ratelimit.
How can I avoid that behavior ?
I'm trying to migrate all my Evernote notes (~2500 documents)
And plan to create ~80-100 paper doc per day.
Doc I will automatically create (with an opensource project like IFTTT) to follow news arround several topics :-)
Regards.
- There is a limit to how many Paper documents you can create per day via the API. There isn't a way around this, so you'll need to throttle your calls accordingly. Check the RateLimitError.retry_after value for how long to wait:

So If the API does not allow this operation, is there a way to import a Evernote.enex file once from the web application itself ?
I did not find it but may be it's hidden somewhere :)

I can only offer help with the API, so any questions about the Paper product itself would be better served in Find answers > Dropbox Paper or Share an idea > Dropbox Paper.
