Currently API requests are limited to 400 in a 15 minute period for all requests. We're going to have to add a special limit for API Search requests to 500 in a 24 hour period.

Slightly concerned about the 500 searches limit. We aren't anywhere near reaching that limit, but one abusive/excited user could hit this. For now, suggest monitoring it by recording searches in the database. If we start hitting the limit, will need to speak with edgework.

In the near future, we will be enforcing limits in our API on the number of items that can be requested in a single call to 100 items. In the past, we had some API users exceeding this amount which caused headaches for our developers, so we are taking this step to make sure the site and the API are up and available to everyone as close to 24/7 as possible.

If you have concerns or questions, feel free to post them here.

Shouldn't affect GWL, but making a note here.
