Revisando la documentacion de airtable, en limites de tarifa dice esto: La API está limitada a 5 solicitudes por segundo por base. Si excede esta tasa, recibirá un código de estado 429 y deberá esperar 30 segundos antes de que las solicitudes posteriores tengan éxito.  
estoy haciendo una app para gimnasio, significa esto que mas de 5 usuarios por segundo no pueden obtener un mismo valor? Me limita?

If you exceed this rate, you will receive a 429 status code and must wait 30 seconds before subsequent requests are successful. I am making a gym app, does this mean that more than 5 users per second cannot obtain the same value? Limits me?

Hi @francabral, 5 requests per second in your case here, would mean that if 6 people somehow requested data from Airtable at the exact same time, then one of them would get an error.

The likely hood of this happening is extremely low, and if you notice it happening you could implement a feature in your app to counter this, so that the data is eventually loaded.

Firebase on the other hand allows for 100 concurrent connections, so maybe this might work better for you?
