Question regarding downloading discussion (chat) transcripts and rate limits

Hi,

We'd like to do some analysis of the discussion transcripts from our videos. This is not the audio chat transcription, but the text chat discussion. I have written a script which uses the API to loop through a set of video ids and downloads the discussion via the /Panopto/Handlers/DiscussionDownload.ashx?id=123456 endpoint.

I expect this will result in approximately 20,000 requests to the server to pull all the chat discussions we need.

I will write the code in such a way that there is a break of several seconds between each request to keep within the rate limits, but I wanted to check whether this approach was ok and whether Panopto could handle this kind of repeat request without any adverse effects.
