Hi,

I just started playing around with the API to run some statistical analysis. Still, in the "rules of conduct for BB users" there is a note that downloading large amounts of data from the site is forbidden. I would be happy to know more precisely how much data can I download during a single session.

Let's say I need the data on around 1000 randomly chosen games for each of the last 10 seasons, which gives us 10.000 data requests (or maybe 20.000 if I consider additional queries to extract id numbers for all that games, before downloading boxscore stats). Would it be considered as "to much"?

Regards,

Pawel
