Says usage of the Newswire API is limited to 5000 requests per day. Seems fairly small to do anything meaningful, other than some quick, fun hacks. Would be great to have someone from over there, over here for an AMA.
@joshbarkin Hi there! I manage the team at NYT that's responsible for our public APIs. We actually haven't had much trouble with people hitting the limit with the Newswire API, since the entire set of data is limited to the past 30 days. It's when people start plumbing the depths of our Article Search API (160+ years allows for lots of plumbing...) that we start to run into trouble. Overall, though, we're pretty flexible and I'd encourage anyone who is hitting the limit repeatedly to reach out to us :)
@jenny8lee as someone who spent a lot of years in the NYT - and with the digital strategy report that happened a few months ago - what are your thoughts on how NYT is adjusting digitally?
@eriktorenberg they have tried numerous ways to add revenue streams to their digital business for a while, the API however is hopefully opening up a lot of third party integrations that could potentially help with some ideas for monetization, hope they have a clear developer strategy for building the community side of things
I love this. Also, the category tagging from the NYT can be very helpful for classification data sets

This is so exciting. The finance API is so useful...we'll see some amazing stuff using this. The Congress API has incredible opportunities too. Imagine the applications during campaign season? Sheesh...
Really cool to see the NYT testing the API as a publishing model. It will be interesting to see how this information could be used outside the normal context of just "news" – providing the foundation for other systems and tools that could use information in completely different ways than simply reporting on recent events. Very cool @_jfiore
Super impressed with NYT for being so open, I can see some awesome products/hacks coming off the back of this data.

Thanks for sharing a good app for checking out news. I always use it to learn what happens in New York. I came across one article with collectors ... I was shocked guys I didn't expect that things can go wrong with banks...
