For those of you that are using or planning to use our API, I’m writing this to inform you on some recent changes regarding usage limits and requirements.

Since more and more people are experimenting with or using our API, we developed a better tracking system, so we can monitor overall API usage, prevent abuse and allow as many useful applications as possible use it in good conditions.

Anonymous API usage is now limited to 15 requests per IP per day. You need to request an appID using this form for more. Once you fill in the request, you will be instantly provided via email with the information needed to identify your app and perform up to 150 requests per day. If you need more, please follow-up using our contact form and we will consider increasing your limit. Don’t forget to cache results whenever possible, and don’t perform multiple registrations for the same app.

There are no other changes on the actual request or response formats. For more details and examples, check out the API page.
