5. What Not To Do

danger
  • Do not request bulk exports of more than three months in a single query on the Analytics Platform.
  • Do not send repeated automated API requests without rate-limiting your own scripts.
  • Do not request that AirQo staff manually extract and send multi-year bulk datasets on your behalf as a workaround to platform limits.
  • Do not share API credentials or export scripts with unlimited loop behaviour in public code repositories.
  • Do not assume that because data is free, the infrastructure costs of delivering it are also zero.
