Fair Usage Guidelines

Please be considerate with your requests, in other words don't make more requests than necessary. Determine whether a single or bulk request is better suited for the data you require. An example would be to consider using timestamp filtering to retrieve only the data you require since your last request. Another consideration would be to locally cache content where possible.
