<PRE>As part of the release of API keys for the E-utilities, we will be conducting a series of tests during which API keys will be fully active in the production E-utilities interface (eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/).
The third and final test will take place from 2:00-3:00 AM EDT on Tuesday, Sept 25.
During this 1-hour period, API keys will function in the production E-utilities interface exactly as they currently perform in the sandbox (api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/eutils/):
* Requests without an API key from any single IP address sending more than 3 requests/second will receive a status 429 error for as long as the request rate exceeds that limit
* Requests with an API key sending more than the limit for that key (default is 10 requests/second) will receive a status 429 error for as long as the request rate exceeds that limit
To be clear, receiving a status 429 error is a temporary condition, and service will be instantly restored once the request rate drops below the relevant rate limit. You do not need to contact us to restore service.
Additional information about this release plan is outlined in a recent blog post: <A HREF="https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2018/08/14/release-plan-for-e-utility-api-keys/">https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2018/08/14/release-plan-for-e-utility-api-keys/</A>
If you have questions about API keys, or would like to negotiate a higher rate than 10 requests/second for your key, please contact us at <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/utilities-announce">info at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</A>&lt;mailto:<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/utilities-announce">info at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</A>&gt;.
If you observe unexpected behavior regarding your API key(s) during this testing period, please write to us at <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/utilities-announce">info at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</A>&lt;mailto:<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mailman/listinfo/utilities-announce">info at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</A>&gt;.
