Please consider increasing the API rate limits. The current limits are extremely low for organizations that want to bypass the standard widgets to build custom formatting on their own websites.

    Hi Candy's Cats, we've just raised these dramatically. We still highly recommend using our built-in caching strategies or your own, though: - list reads (pets, people) 100 -> 2000 - single-record reads (a pet, a person) 400 -> 5000 - metadata (custom fields, fees, terms) 15 -> 50. These shouldn't be changing anywhere near this often, but we still raised it - writes (insert/update pet, insert person) 10 -> 250
