To enhance the user experience and prevent exceeding the API call limit per minute, the following features were implemented:
- Debouncing applied to the EditText's addTextChangedListener using a Handler to prevent exceeding the API call limit per minute.
- When updating RecyclerView data with a scroll Listener, there was a issue of multiple API calls, which I resolved by implementing the isLoading status.
