Throttle and queue up API requests due to per second cap

For an alternative solution, I used the node-rate-limiter to wrap the request function like this:

var request = require('request');
var RateLimiter = require('limiter').RateLimiter;

var limiter = new RateLimiter(1, 100); // at most 1 request every 100 ms
var throttledRequest = function() {
    var requestArgs = arguments;
    limiter.removeTokens(1, function() {
        request.apply(this, requestArgs);
    });
};
