Nope, paid access just gets you more API functions and livescores but not unlimited usage.

Out of interest... Why would you ever need to go above 100 api hits per minute?

I'm genuinely interested in your use case.

The rate limit is set to stop abuse of our site and resources. Before we introduced it the site was really struggling under the pressure of a few high users, many on the free tier.

ho ok, I just want to retrieve the player images with the name search, but as I have a list of over 200k players, the batch that runs gets rejected .

maybe there's another way to do it?

Ahh yeh thats a big ask for that much artwork, we're also constantly updating player artwork so it soon would be out of date

If your a Patreon subscriber, you can lookup a whole team roster as well as images in 1 lookup using the "lookup_all_players" method using the team ID. That's probably the easiest way and then just cycle through the leagues and teams.
