[xmltv-users] UK Atlas load/usage warning email

[Neil B. <li...@fn...>]

   I've just had an email from MetaBroadcast (Atlas) warning me that I'm 
requesting “excessive” amounts of data.  Has anyone else got this?

   I've been running with a (largely) daily request for the next 12-ish 
days, as the UK RT used to.  Any recommendations?  Atlas seem to expect 
their service to be used ad hoc while perusing or searching, rather than 
the full-library way that Myth expects.

   Any recommendations?  Do I need to try to go back to the UK RT 
grabber?  It looks like it's still around.


   Here's what I received:

Hi,

As part of some ongoing changes, we have noticed your Atlas application 
is requesting a large amount of data each day, including requesting more 
than 24 hours of data in a single API call.

Please can you ensure that you are fully compliant with the terms and 
conditions, listed here: http://atlas.metabroadcast.com/admin#/terms.

For clarity, this means you should only request the data you need, when 
you need it, and not every channel in one batch. Additionally, please 
limit each call you make to a maximum of 24 hours of data.

Please make the changes required by 1800 BST on Saturday 14 May. 
Unfortunately, if we see further calls after that point that do not 
match the terms, or request more than 24 hours of data in a single call, 
we will need to suspend your API key.

Free access to Atlas is offered on a self-service basis. We hope you can 
find all the info you need in our own documentation at 
http://atlas.metabroadcast.com/, or from the maintainers of any 3rd 
party software you are using.

If you do need to contact us, please use the form here: 
http://atlas.metabroadcast.com/admin#/contact. We are unable to answer 
correspondence via any other route.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Chris
