What it is
Polling means calling an endpoint on a schedule to check for new data, as opposed to receiving a push (a webhook).
In the Credicorp API
On the public ring there are no webhooks, so polling a cacheable read is the way to pick up changes — but poll sparingly and cache, because the ring is limited to 60 requests per 60 seconds per IP. For a health probe, a call every minute or two is ample. See monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I poll the public API?
Sparingly — the ring allows 60 requests per 60 seconds per IP. For most needs a call every minute or two, cached, is plenty.
