Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 112

A user is receiving a 429 Too Many Requests error.
Which scheme is the server employing that causes this error?

Answer options

• A. rate limiting
• B. time outs
• C. caching
• D. redirection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'rate limiting' because a 429 Too Many Requests error indicates that the user has exceeded the allowed number of requests within a specified time frame. The other options, such as time outs, caching, and redirection, do not specifically relate to the limitation of request frequency, making them incorrect in this context.
