[15:40:41] <Sam_at_Megaputer>	 Can anyone here tell me Wikipedia's maximum crawl rate?
[15:42:09] <Reedy>	 What sort of crawling?
[15:46:53] <Sam_at_Megaputer>	 Web crawling. I'm trying to get some information for a bot I'm building
[15:47:11] <Reedy>	 What are you requesting?
[15:47:13] <Reedy>	 API calls?
[15:47:16] <Reedy>	 Loading HTML of pages?
[15:48:12] <Sam_at_Megaputer>	 Loading html. Where can I find these APIs?
[15:48:44] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_REST_API
[15:49:17] <Reedy>	 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
[15:49:55] <Reedy>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page
[15:51:40] <Sam_at_Megaputer>	 Thanks! I'll check those out. In the meantime, do you happen to know the "speed limit"? I seem to recall having found it once, but I don't remember what it is or how to find it again.

[15:55:39] <dancy>	 Nice tech support Reedy
[15:56:10] <Reedy>	 dancy: Hardest thing is sometimes finding the docs... :)
[15:56:25] <dancy>	 Nod.  There's a ton of content
