Excessive use
Users of the site are required to be considerate in their use. This means that:
- You shall not perform excessively intensive or frequent queries against the SPARQL endpoint.
- Where you are using a non-browser user-agent, the User-Agent header should include details of your application, including contact details (e.g. an e-mail or web address), so that we can contact you if we feel you are — intentionally or otherwise — being excessive in your use of the site.
- Where you distribute software that makes requests of the site, you should be confident that the software will not perform excessive requests.
We understand that our use of excessive is rather vague. We reserve the right to rate-limit or block clients that we determine to be excessive, or are having a detrimental effect on the service provided to other users.
