Limitations on the number of requests

We limit the number of requests per hour. Here are the current limits. Note that they are additive, not independent. That is, to each request we sum 1/(number of allowed requests of that type per hour) to your limit. If it goes over 1, you are blocked for a few hours. Repeating offenders may be banned for longer periods.

If you need to extend your limits for some reason, contact us explaining why. We are very open to requests and suggestions of any kind.

Here are the allowed requests per hour, for each operation type. These numbers may change without previous notice.
