FindingAPI "SoldItemsOnly" filter not working

[rilivin0]

I just joined the ebay dev program and im trying to connect to the findingAPI endpoint in production to pull data with a SoldItemsOnly item filter. I made a single request and now I'm getting a rate limit exceed error. I was under the impression that 5000 calls per day is the limit so I'm not sure what is going on here.

Do I need some sort of special permission to access sold item data?

here is my script:

endpoint = "https://svcs.sandbox.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1"

params = {

    "OPERATION-NAME": "findCompletedItems",

    "SERVICE-VERSION": "1.0.0",

    "SECURITY-APPNAME": APP_ID,  # Replace with your App ID

    "GLOBAL-ID": "EBAY-US",

    "RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT": "JSON",

    "REST-PAYLOAD": "",

    "keywords": "Pokemon Base Set 1 Charizard -PTCGO -online -lot -graded -PSA -Beckett -GMA -SGC" ,  # Updated keywords

    "itemFilter(0).name": "SoldItemsOnly",

    "itemFilter(0).value": "true"

}

The "findCompletedItems" call has been deprecated, and eBay does not support "data mining" to generate historical pricing.
