Response Status Code: 429 - Too many requests

I was running this code snippet

python launch_scientist.py --model "gpt-4o-2024-05-13" --experiment nanoGPT_lite --num-ideas 1

and I get this error

@roovy54 you can apply for an api key for the semantic scholar in their website https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/api#api-key

Hi @roovy54, @arundasan91, @corochann

I'd like to help resolve this issue by:
Adjusting API call frequency with rate limiting.
Adding a retry mechanism for handling 429 errors.
Could you provide any context or guidance on existing efforts, preferred approaches, or testing requirements before I proceed?

Thanks, and I’ll wait for your confirmation before starting the implementation!
