Hi -

We have implemented the WikiHow data to our search results on our LeapFish Product (www.leapfish.com) via the MediaWiki API and unfortunately we seem to have hit the maximum call limit and/or our IP has been confused with SPAM. I'm not sure what the call limit is or where I can go to request an increase but is there anyway we can remove the limit or whitelist our IP? LeapFish is a fairly high traffic site. Please advise. Thank you for the help.

Below is a current call example:

http://www.wikihow.com/api.php?action=query http://www.wikihow.com/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=%22+ride+a +bike%22&sroffset=0&format=xml&srlimit=4 &list=search&srsearch=%22+ride+a+bike%22&sroffset=0&format=xml&srlimit=4

Would it help if we passed user information? If so how we would we pass it?

My login is behzadb

The request is coming from the following IP:

208.48.87.2

Behzad B.

Regards,
