Mercado Libre API rate limits — an alternative
Created by
Oswaldo Carabano
If the official API throttled you: no token, no per-request quota. It reads the pages a visitor sees, and every row carries the same item_id the platform uses, so your API data joins to this. The official API returns stock as a range (RANGO_1_50) and so does the site — exact stock is no longer published anywhere, and this Actor does not invent it.
