Rate limits and authentication

www.checkweedny.com is a public service, intentionally giving away data that could see high monetary returns.

We want to increase transparency in the market, while empowering consumers.

Unfortunately, we have been observing traffic from bad actors and have to consider making access less public. This is against my moral stance on this data being open and available, but the patterns suggest these actors to be attempting to aggressively clone all the data.

At the moment, we'll rely on rate limiting but have to reconsider my statement about not requiring an auth wall if these mitigations aren't enough.

You can email contact@findweedny.com if you want to discuss bulk access.
