The 10-Product-a-Day API Limit That Changed How I Ship Digital Products

说明与用途

作者在一个平台上遇到每天只能创建10个产品的限制。他构建了一个按计划、幂等的上传器，记录每个成功创建的产品到账本，在达到上限时停止，并在第二天继续，从而将已发布的产品数量从10个提升到39个，且没有重复。

问题

An uploader could create many products in one batch, but after ten creations it silently failed with no error message or rate‑limit header.

结果

The new workflow allowed the author to ship 39 products instead of 10 without duplicates, improving business throughput.

工作流

• Read ledger of already live products
• Upload next few items that are not in ledger
• Record each new item upon API confirmation
• Stop when the 10‑product cap is hit
• Resume next day from where it left off

证据

I built an uploader that could create a hundred products in an afternoon. Then it started failing after ten.

来源

Just ten successes and then nothing, every time I tried a batch.

The ledger is the whole trick. Without it, a job that dies halfway cannot tell what it already did, and you get duplicates.
