Adding delay to java code

Question

I am making multiple REST API request calls to a third party app from java and I do not know the threshold value of number of requests they procees in a given time and I am thrown a 429 too many requests runtime exception, I need to add a delay between these API calls can anyone suggest an optimal way(there are no threads used in the app)

you can use thread.sleep. There will be the main thread doing its job. You can use sleep in that main thread. — Karthik Surianarayanan, Feb 18 '14 at 08:56

You can use Handler.postDelayed() method:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {  
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do something that is meant to be delayed
    }
}, delayMillis);

where delayMillis is delay time measured in milliseconds.
