The CrunchBase Developer Portal and Access Keys

[Vineet Thanedar]

Hi all,

We just opened up the CrunchBase developer portal http://developer.crunchbase.com. Please read the related post about this: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/24/announcing-the-crunchbase-developer-portal-and-api-access-keys/.

Your apps will continue to function normally. However, all unregistered apps will be throttled at an aggregate 100K calls per hour starting today. This rate limit will progressively be reduced until December 1, 2012 when we would like all developers to use access keys.

All applications using an API access key will not be affected and will not be rate limited. Please create a developer account and register your apps at http://developer.crunchbase.com/member/register.

If you have any questions, feel free to email cb...@techcrunch.com and/or post a question to the Forum on the developer portal. We plan on making the Forum the default place to answer questions and track issues and move away from this google group.

Thanks,

Vineet
