Many APIs rate limit requests coming from hosting providers such as App Engine.

Depending on what you find, there are alternatives that can be pursued such as using a proxy server or another API. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
