Web.Contents failed to get contents
I have got this error?
Data source error: <pii>Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://xxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxx/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/xxx/xxx/Shared%20Documents/xxx/project/Production/filename.xlsm')/$value' (429): </pii>. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface. Please review the error message and provider documentation for further information and corrective action.
Everytime, I run this query - I am getting some or the other error.
So one i want to know how to solve this error.
But i also want the query to refresh and maybe ignore this error and move on. I have too many files and somewhere ot the other there might be an error like some files might be open.
How do i plan to ensure that the query refreshes - even if there are errors.

Hi ShilpiKapoor ,
According to the error code, this should be an excessive number of calls to Api within a certain time frame, and SharePoint Online triggered a limit to prevent overuse of resources.
For more information, please refer to:
Avoid getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint Online | Microsoft Docs
