The title speaks for itself, the bounty list is so huge, it says in the metadata there is currently 5697 bounties in total. Each fetch returns 100 at most. So we need 57 calls just for the complete bounty list.
I understand there is 100 api calls / min hard cap, but here are 2 questions:
-can I make that 57 calls at once?
-if so, should I? Unless there is a better way for this?
Yes, you can.
No, you shouldn't.
Absolute majority of bounties are $1 mission or random ones. Fetching the first 10 or so pages would get you more than enough. Not to mention that if you fetch the same list again in 2 minutes, it would be completely different as bounties get claimed and placed on a regular basis.
Probably relatedly, is there a reason why this query doesn't filter based on the from?
