Can we do this with an API key

    If I'm a partner on a website that uses an API key, can both partners have a key (2000 queries)

    I max out after about 20 hours....so I go 4 hours with my site being inoperable. I've emailed twice for an increase in the last month, but they won't get back with me.

    Is it against the TOS for someone to donate their key for me to use during the down time?

    ED :eek:

    I'm afraid that I don't know lot of things still now. Could you please say what API you you mentioned about? Again, I can see, someone replied "yes". @dejaone: what do u understand from his query? If answer yes is for this question - "can both partners have a key (2000 queries)"; then I'll say, you didn't understand anything.
    Whatever I understand is, you're facing 4 hrs downtime on your site daily and want to share something for this time. But what is it.

    I don't know what the API is doing. In many cases the API code won't allow you to call/access it from other domains. You can try. But until u mention clearly about the API (atleast the name and where u got it frm), who knows, whether it's legal or not.

    It's not legal but it's just considered black hat seo / programming - if you can rotate the user ids using a script, it could theoretically work. You'll be breaking the tos but it could definitely work for you if you tried to alternate users of the data APIs
