If an average of one query per second is high enough for Flickr - http://developer.yahoo.com/flickr/ - I'd say it's good enough for the ever so slightly smaller us. :-) Seriously, if you're only making one off calls, you shouldn't be in any hurry, so the slower you can get away with, the kinder you are to us. But sleeping a second or two between calls should be fine. > Secondly, is it better to pass 50 ids to getMPsInfo (obviously not > twice a second) than to make 50 individual getMPInfo requests? How > many ids should I be passing at a time? I would certainly pass 50 ids to getMPs info (and use the fields variable to not fetch everything). I couldn't tell you a "best" number to use, 50 sounds fine to me.
