3 years agoHi paulpharr:
Thanks for reaching out about this. There currently isn't any way of determining your rate limit status. I've shared your feedback on an internal discussion we have on this.
With that in mind, there are a few ways you can reduce your use of calls when you're using 1Password CLI:
- Use the --cache
flag to avoid requesting the items again.
- Use item UUIDs wherever possible. In other words, rather than using op item get foo
to find the item named foo, use op item get 2xipj35ujypxn4fskjrdq57r5u
- If you do need to search for an item by name, use --vault
to limit to just a single vault, which will avoid fetching the names of all vaults available.
Thanks again for your feedback!
Jack
