Now when I am checking my Settings -> API -> Stats, it is correctly showing that I only had 2 requests, which is correct. So why is the API reference page showing thousands of requests?

This is a known bug.

Same here. I've just regenerated my key, but it is still happening.

So I guess it is a bug indeed.... right?

Read the answer above.

Hello, When I'm checking the API reference page, it is showing that I'm making thousands of queries every week. However, I'm definitely not making these queries. So far I've made fewer than 10 test queries. I have not shared my API auth info with anyone else. I wish to understand what I need to do.

Thanks, John

Hey,

Yeah, same situation on me. It seems like many other computers are making requests with same API key

As indicated, this is just a display bug.
