Hello,
we are operating a search engine and would like to supplement our search
suggestions with wikimedia open search:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=[TERM]
are there any limits in volume
No fixed limits, but you should include a
descriptive User-Agent
header with contact information in all of your API requests (always,
regardless of volume) so we can contact you if you're causing
problems.
or legally to what extend this service can be
used ?
I don't think there are any legal restrictions on simple search
results (as opposed to article content), but you should really ask the
on-wiki folks about that; this is a technical list.
