Sorry, but I still cant agree on why asking for a API key on the normal API cannot solve this. A whole application can be banned/throttled/controlled using the API key if needed this way. At present applications register and gets API keys anyway, so all this will do is add an extra layer of

I second this request. Ideally via both web and API, API being immediate and web when your UI guys can get to it. On May 31, 2009, at 3:52 PM, Jesse Stay jesses...@gmail.com wrote: Not going to name names, but there are a few really noisy apps out there right now. It would be really nice
