Jira API -- Too Many Http Connections

[Rajesh Vinnakota]

Hi,

Our Jira admin team complains that my account is making too many connections per minute (around 500+). 

I use python jira module and below is the sample code for it.

from jira import JIRA

options = {'server': 'https://xyz/', 'verify': False, 'validate':True}
jira = JIRA(options=options,basic_auth=(username,password))

issues = jira.search_issues('project = ABC AND type =XYZ', maxResults=10)

in the above scenario, if im retrieving 10 results does it actually make 10 connections each time ?
