    I just registered (would have done it long ago but Beta had limitations) and i would like to know what they mean when they specify 1000 searches only. Do they mean per pc or per key?
    And how do Opera and Mozilla get their own names as client in the url? Is it a contract or is it related ro api?:confused:

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, reddoxter.

    I am not sure how you are trying to use your API key. Around DP people tend to either use for keyword tracker or revalidating their site in co-op.

    To use with keyword tracker set up an account by filling out forrm provided and insert key (number) Googgle provided. You can immediately set up keyword phrases you want to track in Google. To be able to check phrases in Yahoo and MSN you must follow set up instructions and insert appropriate php code on a server you are running that supports php.

    Co-op use can be handled similarly. I believe you can join the co-op without having an API but will not be able to manually validate your account. If you use all 1000 queries with keyword tracker on a given day, you will not be able to manually vlidat yourr account on that sam day and have to wait until next day to revalidate.

    Use of the API is not limited to any one particular machine.

    I can not addresses browser dependancy issue. It has been some time since I started using DP and processes have evolved over time.

    Good luck. Be sure to post if you need further clarification.

    1000 queries per key.
