jQuery throttling and queuing of AJAX requests

Question

I\'m interacting with an API that allows one action per 5 seconds. However, I want to ensure all requests end up with the host. How can I queue and throttle the requests tha

Answer 1

If you want to ensure anything then you'd best get a medium other than the internet - it is inherently unreliable. Anyway, in order to try to ensure, you could use the Javascript setTimeout method to initiate the call at a later time.

Other than that, if you don't want to use any other third party resources, you could look into the delay method exposed by jQuery.
