Hello, I have a question about the limitation.
this limitation of 6000 requests is for 1H, 1 day 1 month? is the counter reset?
I'm asking you this because I'm going to do some tests and then I'll make some queries and so my meter will decrease
thank for you're response.

the 6000 use key, aka private key is a one time use key, as such it will NEVER be reset. (note that the private key is made for servers to create a complete copy of our database, if you don't have/need/use a server, you could use it for testing, though I'd recommend against it, as you should use the public key for that)

public key reset every month, from use date.

hello, I have tests with the public key, can you remove the limits of the public key are too limited, and I can not wait an extra month it's too long , I want to made a homemade database, and i made a request for grab a game so it's very limited to made a complet database
thank for you're help

[Leo_Pride]

The public key is for testing or end-user usage.
The private key is for mirroring the entire database.

Hopefully, Zero can fill in the details, because results should be handled 20 to 1 query, not 1 to 1.

[hadouken1111]

Sorry but with 6000 requests it's impossible to build a entire database
when I made one request that return many results but the results are just poor look the request and the results
they return only
[id] , [game_title] , [release_date] ,[platform] , [developers]

where are the overview ,players rating,coop etc.... ??????

Hopefully Zero can elaborate, the theoretical maximum should be 120,000 results (60,000 with full data) which exceeds the current database size by several thousand records.

[hadouken1111]

OK but look at the result of queries, it returns only very little data.
I can not build base with only 5 fields, do you know why the query returns only 5 fields and not all?

return only
[id]
[game_title]
[release_date]
[platform]
[developers]

[Leo_Pride]

Personally? No idea, that's why I'm waiting on Zero.
