I'm trying to setCustomField to Manychat subscribers using its API. The link to their API is:
https://api.manychat.com/swagger#/Subscriber/post_fb_subscriber_setCustomFieldByName
Below is the code for request :
var rp = require("request-promise");
var config = require("./../campaign_config.json");
module.exports = { setWaybillForUser : async function setWaybillForUser(userid,waybill,dbRef){
var options = { method: 'POST',
uri: 'https://api.manychat.com/fb/subscriber/setCustomFieldByName',
headers:
{'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
Accept: '*/*',
Authorization: config.Manychat_token,
'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body:
{ subscriber_id: parseInt(userid),
field_name: 'waybill',
field_value: waybill },
json: true };
try {
const response = await rp(options);
console.log(response);
if (response.status == "success") {
return dbRef.child('datanode').child(userid).update({
"Order_Status": 3
}).then(function () {
//do nothing.
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
}
catch (err) {
console.log(err.message);
}
}
};
I'm calling this function multiple times as there are many subscribers for whom the function has to run. The code where it's being called is:
dbRef.child("subData").once('value').then(function(snapshot){
var data = snapshot.val();
var keys = Object.keys(data);
let promiseArray = [];
let orderStatusArr =[];
for(let i=0; i< keys.length; i++){
var order_status = data[keys[i]].Order_Status;
var subid = data[keys[i]].UserID;
var waybill = data[keys[i]].Waybill_Number;
if(order_status == 1){
orderStatusArr.push({
"Order_Status":order_status,
"UserID": subid,
"Waybill_Number":waybill
});
}
}
for(let i=0; i<orderStatusArr.length;i++){
var order_status = orderStatusArr[i].Order_Status;
var subid = orderStatusArr[i].UserID;
var waybill = orderStatusArr[i].Waybill_Number;
promiseArray.push(setWaybillsForUser.setWaybillForUser(subid,waybill,dbRef));
}
Promise.all(promiseArray).then(() => {
// all done here
response.send("success");
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err.message);
});
})
When I run the code - it logs success for some requests while throwing the above for others. At a time it's able to run the code for about 10 subscribers successfully.
From this page:
Is there any limit to a number of API calls?
There is only a request per second limit for POST methods (per page):
- /fb/sending/sendFlow, /fb/sending/sendContent - 25 RPS;
- /fb/subscriber/addTag, /fb/subscriber/removeTag, /fb/subscriber/setCustomField - 10 RPS.
So judging from this, and the symptoms you've posted, it looks like the second rule applies
