mysql — получить идентификаторы призывателей из Riot API (php)

Я немного новичок в php, и у меня возникли некоторые проблемы с этим:

Я хотел бы получить всех призывателей в Challenger, Master, Diamond и Platinum в базе данных MySQL.
Для этого я использую эту библиотеку https://github.com/carlos170586/php-lol-api

Проблема в том, что мой хостинг не позволяет выполнять скрипты дольше 2 минут. И не разрешено изменять max_execution_time в php.ini

Кроме того, у меня возникли проблемы с пониманием того, как правильно использовать ограничение скорости. До сих пор, поскольку из-за API-ключа тестирования у меня может быть только 1 запрос в секунду, я только что использовал sleep (1) после выполнения запроса, но я хотел бы сделать его более динамичным для различных ограничений скорости.

У меня есть еще одно сомнение в том, как сделать этот процесс автоматизированным. Должно ли это быть сделано с помощью cron?

У меня такое чувство, что это ужасно и что это должен быть лучший способ сделать это.
