🚨 Important Notes

API Rate Limits

Bing Webmaster Tools API has rate limits:

• ✅ Your current usage: Daily monitoring is well within limits
• ✅ Recommendation: Run monitor once daily
• ✅ Weekly: Run optimize once per week
• ⚠️ Don't: Run workflows repeatedly in quick succession

Data Freshness

• Bing data updates: Usually within 24-48 hours
• Best practice: Run monitor at the same time daily
• Historical data: Builds over time (7+ days for trends)

First Run

Your first npm run monitor will:

• ✅ Connect to Bing API (may take 10-15 seconds)
• ✅ Pull all available data
• ✅ Create your first dashboard
• ✅ Establish baseline

Don't worry if first run is slow! Subsequent runs will be faster as data is cached.
