Retrieving my current region's relatively low number of about 12 thousand RMB pages took 6 hours of non-stop running the script due to the severe limitation of only being able to retrieve 10 RMB messages at a time.
I've added the "limit" parameter to the Regions API "messages" shard, which lets you specify how many messages you want, up to 100.
Please note that the API isn't designed for mass scraping of historical data, like 12,000 pages worth of RMB posts. You are talking about a one-off event, I presume, in which case it doesn't matter how long it takes, and you shouldn't flood the API with requests at the edge of the rate limit.
