According to the Flickr API documentation:

If your application stays under 3600 queries per hour ... you'll be fine.

According to Yahoo Developer documentation:

Access through YQL is limited to 10,000 signed calls per hour

I am currently using Flickr's direct API and I am unfamiliar with YQL. I have just signed up with YQL and it redirects me to Flickr's dev site to obtain a key. BUT that is the key I am already using with a 3600/hr limit. If I used the same Flickr API key that I am currently using with Flickr's direct API, will it magically have a 10,000 call limit via YQL? Alternatively, is there a way to increase my limit while using the direct flickr API?

Why do the two APIs to the same service have different limits?

Thanks for your time, Jess
