I'm building an interactive graphic for a newspaper and there might be substantial traffic to your API. Is there a limit to how many calls you allow?
If you're just hitting the opensearch interface, as you suggest below, it ought to be fine. Our own search suggestions also use the API, and they're probably used more than a widget on Aftenposten's website :)
Also, is it possible to get a richer JSONP result, similar to XML where description and URL is included? I'm comparing this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=xml&limit... to this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&limit=5&callback=myJsonpFunction&search=ltte http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&limi...
Unfortunately, no, not from action=opensearch. The fact that we don't offer this information in all formats kinda sucks; it's because the JSON format and XML format are different standards for returning search results. URLs are trivial to generate, though, with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagename_with_underscores_instead_of_spaces
