I have written some React code that makes a single Http request to  
a site. I keep getting a 429 response code indicating my code is  
sending too many requests to the server. The code is only making  
one XMLHttpRequest; Does anyone happen to have an idea why I  
could be getting the 429 status?  
Thanks for the help.

What site or endpoint are you making the request to? 🙂

Thanks for the reply. I found the answer to my problem in an earlier post by another user;

Just in case someone (like me 😅) ends up in this post, here’s the link to the solution: [Kirupa’s Solution](http://forum.kirupa.com/t/ipaddress-from-react-book-component-only-works-w-on-your-network/639505/14)

Thanks for the bump on this! I’ll get this revised in a future edition of the book as well as the tutorials here 🙂
