Dear all,

We're building a Firefox addon to perceptually match images in Commons against images found elsewhere, so that people can see that they come from Commons even if they appear on other web sites. https://moqups.com/jonaso/lopej41Z has a quick mockup.

On https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Requests/CommonsHasher we've requested the apihighlimits right (after discussion on commons-l starting here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2014-September/007325.html) in order to be able to retrieve more than 50 records at once from the API.

According to EugeneZelenko who tried to grant this right, it could not be granted through the normal interface. Question then: is apihighlimits included in the bot flag, or how can the apihighlimits right be granted?

Sincerely,
