How to execute an AJAX request with a delay?

Question

JavaScript

I work with API Vkontakte. It is necessary to send vk requests and receive a response. I do it all in a loop. However, because there is a limit on the number of requests per second, some requests receive the "Too many requests" error. The process is periodic, since it all happens in a cycle. How to implement sending a request every 0.3 seconds.

Answer 1

We pack the script with the ajax request into a function. After each successful completion of the request, we run setTimeout ( not setInterval ! ) and call our function again after N seconds.

function myAjax() {
    $.ajax({
        /* прочие опции*/
        ,
        success: function() {
            setTimeout(myAjax, 5000);
        }
    });
}

Answer 2

setInterval - No?
