Hi,<br>I am currently working on a project which involves using the 
wikipedia content. The expected traffic that our system needs to serve 
is around 200 qps during peak time.<br>My question is if using Media WIKI directly is really my option here (I mean sending get requests to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php</a> ridectly without any local mirror). Would this traffic be supported or banned?<br>

Also what about the availability of the service and possible latencies?<br>If it was banned what is the best approach?<br>Thanks in advance for any answer.<br>Ewa Szwed
