How do I handle Swiggy API rate limiting?
Cache responses so you do not re-request the same data, and reduce the frequency of calls. If the API returns 429 or blocks repeated requests, you are being rate-limited and need to call it less often.

It is usually one of a few causes: a changed or deprecated endpoint, a CORS error, a changed response shape, rate limiting, or your network blocking the domain. Diagnose in that order to find the cause quickly.
Open the endpoint URL directly in a browser or a tool like Postman. If it returns an error or no data, the endpoint may have changed or been deprecated. Verify against the latest API documentation.
Use a proxy during development, either in your bundler config or through a small backend proxy. The proxy forwards the request server-side, bypassing the browser's CORS restrictions for local development.
