i am using TOR to scrape .onion website.

i am making 1 request per second to be on safe side.

my question is can TOR network/specific relay server BAN my server's IP address for making too many requests in short period of time ?

what happens if something like this happens ?

will TOR installed on my machine find new relay on its own or i have to issue ?

service tor restart

every few hours for finding new relay servers ?

NO, it's impossible. However - it does not discards the rate limits e.t.c., so - just be nice to the website you're scraping
