Hi Jez
You can limit the number of requests to a specific URL (or set of URLs)
by IP address - so polling "every available UPRN" would not be an issue
(e.g. can limit the number of requests from a given IP over a given time
period).
Cheers
Nick

My initial thought was also "conspiracy!". Licence problem is more
likely, or perhaps they were concerned that someone might poll the URL
with every available UPRN.

I have no problem with licencing but the UPRN and related data is
managed by Authority custodians - do they not retain ownership of that
data?
If the authorities sell it to OS, then should this be raised with The Rt
Hon Alok Sharma MP (he owns 100% of the shares of OS)?
N.B. there are some aspects to address data that is subject to other IP
rights but the remainder..... is surely of public interest and value.
