API Key for an app #73

Closed AndersHeie closed 1 year ago

AndersHeie commented 1 year ago

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but it seems like this is where I'm directed after receiving an API key.

I'm building an app for a device called Tidbyt, which will show headlines of new bills passed (etc) from you API.

I'd like to share the API key (as a secret, of course) to the Tidbyt App repository, and since the entire community shares the data, it will be limited to < 1000 requests per day. They use a lot of caching, so probably a request every 30 mins is fine.

Would that be OK, or would you rather generate a custom key for me to use?

if you could generate a custom key that would probably be better since there are so many browser extensions that will not allow me to access any browser or any of my apps since they have removed all permissions and have probably cloned my iCloud and phone number and changed it so now I probably have no access to it any longer. Apple is unable to help me so I am very desperate and hoping and praying that this will work because even my account recovery contact cannot generate a code for me to recover my account. It gives him an error code. please let me know if there's anything I can help with because I have a lot of screenshots that I have saved that prove that my phone is hacked. thank you, Dawn

Hi

Add API to configuration.

Back to the basics I have a shop I want to virtualise it online so forth I apply API to add all my current stock and sales so forth to a framed portfolio I can apply myself to.

Add auto add them build I feel if you shooting in the dark I propose .

Auto add script second layer add up down side to formats and parser enter to world wide web. Run from extract www the. Auto add updates equal will balance out peripheral to manage add on naturally simultaneously also according to your requirements.

Hello. Since the rate limit is 1,000 requests per hour, you should be able to comfortably make 1,000 requests per day. That said, ideally you should have a placeholder key in your application and encourage users to get their own key to plug into your application.
