Hey.
I have been using this plugin called ‘link preview’ to render all the links that a user posts on my web app.
But lately, it has been showing this issue:
Does anyone know what this is? Every time I try to render link, it shows this message.
“Too many requests, rate limit exceeded”
It means you have to go to linkpreview.net and upgrade your plan
But it has 60 requests per hour. This error is showing since days.
In that case, you may need to review your workflows.
It’s likely that you are somehow making the API call without knowing it.
Maybe every time the page loads?
Make sure the API is only called through an action.
Also, have you used the plugin by zeroqode? Does it work like how link preview works? Asking coz it’s cheaper than link preview ($25 lifetime) v/s link preview which is charged as per requests.
ohh…I’ve been loading pages a lot coz I am continuously testing it. Maybe that’s the case.Thanks a lot!
Also, if you can, save the link preview data (image, title, description) in your database.
Because, if you call the link preview API in every cell of a repeating group, you will hit your limit very fast.
I haven’t tried the zeroqode one.

Hi, I tried to save link preview image to my BD, and the result is a blank field. Can you help?
I had the exact same problem. Took me a while to figure out why it had stopped working!
Hi!
I came across your question and was wondering if you had solved it? How do you save LinkPreviews data to the DB to avoid unnecessary API calls? Dynamically loaded fields don’t seem to be savable…?
I’ve solved it by saving images to S3.
