PSA: if you are operating a nostr relay crawler/aggregator/monitor/etc of any sort please consider how your requests effect relay operators.
We had something hitting us for 200gb PER DAY making repetitive queries. This could take smaller relays down with ease.
If you want to be able to access relay data for legitimate purposes this is not the way.
