Grunthos | 60 comments Hi,

This may be a silly question, and may have been asked before, but I could not see anything obvious...

The Terms & Conditions require no more than 1 API call per second. This sounds fine...except I want to use the API in a mobile app, and if I do so, all I can really do is limit API calls to 1/sec PER DEVICE.

Is this what the limit is supposed to imply?

If not, is there any way you can impose the limit on your end?

Thanks...any info would be great.

Penny | 4 comments I'm working with people on a new project where we think we'll exceed this limit. Is this limit by user or site?

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) By site, can you email support@goodreads.com with a description of what your app does/will do?

Will do

Penny | 4 comments I anticipate our project could create moments calling API 8+ times per second. Could we talk about this? Also, I did email info about this project to support@good reads.com
