Hi there!
I ran into discussion about rest api 100 calls cap limit and was wondering if there's a way to extend it.
I am looking to make a call to my restful api multiple times in OnData. I also understand this cap limit should not be an issue in live trading, however I would like be able to validate things in a backtest.
Is there any way to allow large portion (>10k) of restful api calls done in a single backtest?

Mind sharing the application/use case for more than 100 calls?
It's intended for importing data and is capped to prevent exporting data. Ideally, anything you need to do for analysis should be inside the algorithm / within the firewall.

Hi Jared!
I have an API which is meant to provide a signal every OnData. Based on the response from the API, the algo may make a decision to buy/sell. This requires to make a relatively large number of API calls each backtest.
I understand the concern to data exporting. Do you know if this limit can be removed if I purchase any of the advanced plans (e.g. Team/Trading Firm/Institution)?

Sorry, this is not possible in QuantConnect. You can use LEAN locally on your own servers if you wanted; however, I'd recommend simply moving the analysis to QuantConnect.
