You must not attempt to work around or ignore this limit without our prior written consent. You will endeavour to keep the API key provided to you secret to reduce the risk of third-party abuse. Details on how to keep track of your limits in the API’s documentation.

Prifysgol Bangor University reserves the right, for the purposes of maintenance, to limit and/or restrict the API availability (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice.
