I am working on an application that uses the EVE API (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_API_Functions) and I was curious about a couple things.


Anyway, my question is there a maximum number of requests per time period? Good programming etiquette would tell me to limit the number of requests to avoid heavy usage on CCP resources which is of course what I am trying to do. But I want to avoid my application/IP/webserver from being blocked due to the number of requests sent.


  1. To begin with I am using ALE for these requests mainly because of the caching aspect.
  2. The number of requests might be a high as 200 to the CharacterInfo API (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_API_EVE_Character_Info).



Thanks
