There is no hard rate limit on the APIs. The soft rate limiting, which is intended to detect and block automated queries, which are prohibited in the TOS, is generally based on IP addresses, but it does consider API key and usage of the userip parameter in the case of RESTful applications. That said, please make certain that your application conforms to the TOS.
