API Request

Post by balderdashian »

Here is the project:

http://tiltedarcade.com

My plan was to include a cache of TGDB xmls in my project and only scrape the site for newer games. Or I can just not even include any scraping and simply use my key for development. I'm happy to follow any restrictions you require.

it's up to you how you decide to mange this, but a mirror or a cached list is usually advised.
for apps, its usually best to get the data as required by the user, then cache that to avoid duplicate calls, noting that each IP (user) can make 1000 requests a day.
