5000 request per day rate limit

Hello,

Just curious if I can request or pay for a higher limit of API requests per day on the Geocoding API:http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html

If not, is it a legitimate use of the service to use an array of proxies to do API requests? This would involve my app doing a sort of round robin calling of the proxies. So, for example, if I had 5 proxies, each with it's own public IP address, would I be violating the terms of use? This example would effectively allow my app to make 25,000 API requests per day.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

    you can use some kind of cache to dont doing request each time runs the query. i am using memcached unde Zend Framework , and works nice and easy

    i think 50K per day means 50,000 , not 5,000

    Also, you can use YQL, which has built in caching/throttling. Here is an example: http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q...&format=xml

  • Can I query the current number of API calls, to see if I'm getting near the daily limit?

    Hi Nuno -- this isn't currently a feature of YDN hosted APIs.
