Multiple users, same api key or guest sessions?
pubblicato da Kevin DeerySTAFFMOD il 16 luglio, 2013 alle 10:59AM
Hi all,
ive been developing a little desktop application that has received some positive feedback, im not going to have it available for download for free
I was wondering if say 1000 people download the application and say 100 are all online at any one given time, im assuming this will not be allowed with my api key. Do I need to generate guest sessions for users or can I have many users using my api key?
Thanks for any help
Kevin

Hey Kevin,
We don't limit requests based on an API key, only IP address. Because of this, you don't really have anything to worry about.
Cheers.

Thanks for the update, on that note what is the limitation for requests from the same ip. I tinkered with concurrent webreqest in the past. Woulnt mind having this in my project to increase performace for large collections :)

The limits are explained in the docs: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io under "Request Rate Limiting".
Cheers.
