Yes, I'm already developing version 2 where the user can cache the output and set an expiration... perhaps 4 hours = 5 calls per day... instead of 500 :) As well, I'm building it into a WordPress widget. I may also expand it into different formats... like a tag, badget, etc. You folks should really put the API call threshold out on your Developer Community so folks know about it. Appreciate the guidance, Doug Thanks, Ian!

I tried your widget code, that's really cool! The usage I would recommend is to run it out of cron(1) once per day and publish it to a static javascript file you can include. For instance, an example setup I'd imagine is one where the widget gets published everyday at 1 a.m. like so: 0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/dkarr/web/rank_widget.php > /usr/local/apache/htdocs/js/rank_widget.js (specific paths are made up but hopefully that provides a good starting point) In general, scaling the your API usage and scaling your website traffic should be decoupled ;) Hope that helps, -Ian Doug,
