How to avoid rate limit when using Server Side Rendering (SSR)?

[andres12]

In the documentation it says that the Storefront API cannot be utilized server-side because of its rate limits. What can I do if I want to use Server Side Rendering (SSR)? And how does Hydrogen avoids this problem if it also uses SSR?

Would love to get any answer on this question

I think I've found the answer here: https://shopify.dev/api/storefront#rate_limits

If you use a server-side library, the IP address of the request will be your server’s address. To ensure your app is throttled correctly, use a delegate access token and pass it in the Shopify-Storefront-Private-Token header from server contexts. Requests using this authentication method can pass the buyer IP into the Shopify-Storefront-Buyer-IP header.

Hey @andres12,

can you explain me the solution?

I would be really thankfully.

I've just updated my answer because I had an error in the quote I put. The solution is in the link I mentioned in the "Usage limitations" section. I don't know how to explain it better and I haven't implemented it yet.
