The link API Explorer returns 'HTTP 403 Forbidden':

" We have built a simple browsing tool that will show you how the API
works.
The API Explorer lets you test your queries and shows sample returns.
"

Any ideas why? (I am logged in under the API account)

I'm getting frequent "403 Service Over Qps" errors whilst browsing the
docs at http://api.guardianapis.com/docs/

Also, are there any examples of api output that don't require waiting
for api key approval?

Cheers,
Dan

We're pretty sure we resolved this bug. We'll keep an eye on it, but
please tell us if you see it again.

I'm getting a 403 making multiple hits in rapid succession via a Yahoo
pipe:

You might be hitting our query per second ceiling. I'll look more
closely at the reports to see what I can find.

Hey there,

We're interested in getting football minute-by-minute articles,
however the api calls seem to be cached on Guardian's end so any
updates lag. Is it possible to cache such articles (tag is /global/
minutebyminute) for less time than default or have a way of bypassing
the cache? I expect 1 query / minute / article while the articles are
being updated is all we need.

Thanks,
Vlad
