I guess I was just "lucky" for timing out when requesting a meagre 10 character info directly with getJson (I suppose there would have been a flurry of them in the space of a second)
technically that's the total job duration for crawling an account, but transforming + inserting into my DB takes about 20ms so it's a good indicator for API response time
that said it would be cool to log every API call so you can see response codes / times :smile:
