I am writing a plugin which makes calls to https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/{slug}.json

Is there a limit on making calls to WordPress.org API's? For example once per hour or every 10 minutes etc. Read more - https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress.org_API#Plugins

I have no idea if WP API has limits, but, you should always cache your requests every time you deal with a third party API access. it is a good practice to cache the response for an hour or whatever, it will help optimizing the site which will use your plugin, thus it loads faster due to cached responses.

I suggest you use Transients API « WordPress Codex

  • Although what you say is correct, it isn't an answer to the question.

    Not a problem and actually maybe it isn't that bad as additional insight and information, so let it be an answer I guess.
