[Cod-bugs] Query about terms of use

[SPILLMAN Mark]

Dear COD team,

I am writing to ask you if there is any guidance on acceptable "terms of use" for querying the OPTIMADE endpoint, for example, guidance on the number of queries a user should submit within a given time, or any other limits on use (e.g. rate limits, concurrent requests etc).

I tried to find something to that effect on the website and also via the /info endpoint, but wasn't able to see anything.

I also wanted to ask if there was an obvious way to find the maximum page_limit argument for OPTIMADE requests - it seems to vary depending on which parameters are requested. For example, if I include &response_fields=cartesian_site_positions in my query, then page_limit max is 10. However, if this is not included, then page_limit max is 100.

Many thanks and best wishes,


Mark
