Rate Limit for Academic Research

[Justus Kroely]

Dear The Guardian Open-Platform Team,

I would like to use your API for a research paper of mine. The plan is to use topic modeling to show the discussed topics across various news sites during the years 2020 and 2021. 
Unfortunately, the current rate limit makes the collection for the time intervall impractical. Would it be possible to temporarily increase my rate limit? 
The paper is strictly non-commercial & will not be published. 

Thank you!

Best,
Justus

Hi, Justus. Thank you for reaching out.

We've temporarily increased your daily rate limit to 5,000. Your requests per minute remain at 60. If our calculations are right this should be sufficient to meet your needs, assuming you retrieve 50 articles per request.

Best wishes,

Rik
