me/friends?fields=checkins.limit(5) gives error code 613 (exceeded 600 calls in 600 seconds)

Question

I am working with rest fb for the first time and am not able to fetch my friends checkins using the above fql query. The query - me/friends?fields=checkins.limit(5) gives me an exception saying

{
"error": {    
"message": "(#613) Calls to checkin_fql have exceeded the rate of 600 calls per 600 seconds.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 613 }
}

Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks !

Answer 1

May be you are running a batch query, which exceeds the Facebook limit, You can try to run on graph request per second. It tracks one single request per second per auth-token and IP.

Have details on this link Do Facebook Graph API calls using field expansion count differently against the rate limits than batch calls
