Hi,

I have a question about a couple of requests - get_audio and get_video - for example. In both cases there is in bold a message stating that these requests should not be used more than once per hour. Can you provide clarification please: do you mean the specific request e.g. get_audio with radiohead requests should not be made more than once per hour or do you mean all get_audio requests regardless of query parameters should not be done more than once per hour from the same developer key?

thanks, Allan.

Hi, sure we'll be glad to clarify this: it is per artist. Please do not request this for a given artist more than once an hour.
Hope it helps - thank you!

Yfaktor, that's for same url or for result pages too ? To clarify, when i get first page of results for an artist, should i wait an hour for next results (same artist) ? Thanks.

lbonifazi: We no longer restrict calls to once-per-hour-per-artist. Feel free to make the calls as often as you like up to the 120 calls per minute rate limit.
