Hi Lee,

The rate limit is per-account for authenticated requests, and per- IP address for non-authenticated requests. If you (or anyone) has suggestions on how to make the documentation [1] clearer I'm all for it; please email [email protected] with your suggestions. This seems to be a common point of confusion.

Thanks;

Each account has 150 requests / hr. If that that account is being used from
several clients all of the hits will count against the 150.

If a person uses 2 clients. Can each client make 150 requests / hr, or
does the 150 limit apply to both clients?
