I don't think the idea is to reduce API usage overall.
And, you don't make more money because someone's buggy script is hammering you with 1000 GET requests a second (for example).
- rdegges 10y agoIt depends. If your product is your API, and you're getting paid from usage -- then usually yes -- the more API usage you get, the more $ you make, and the more success the customer has (hopefully!)
