Testing for the API seems to be going well. You guys have found some issues and I was able to resolve them, which is great.

Before going live, I will be implementing some restrictions on API usage in order to try and reduce abuse and maintain a speedy service.

Using the API will be a Credit based system. So every account will be granted a total of 3000 Credits per day. Every call to the API will cost a certain number of Credits based on what you did. Here is how I see the breakdown.

Authorization requests will cost 0 Credits.
All Get requests will cost 1 Credit.
Media upload will cost 20 Credits.
All other Post|Put|Delete requests will cost 2 Credits.

I welcome your thoughts and suggestions on it.
