How to make wordnik api stop throwing exceeded access limits error

I am trying to use the Wordnik API for a project in JS.

When playing around with the API I think I made to many requests and now I get "exceeded access limits" error whenever I make a request. Is there anything I can do to make the error go away or should I just wait for it to fix itself?

Here are the settings I set (url):

    word: apple
    limit: 1
    partOfSpeech: <none>
    includeRelated: false (default)
    useCanonical: false (default)
    includeTags: false (default)

This is the response I get:

{
  "message": "exceeded access limits",
  "type": "error"
}
Solution

  • You should check to make sure that you are using your own API key, and not the key that is used for the Wordnik API documentation. :)

    If you haven't received your key by email (after signing up for Wordnik and requesting one at http://developer.wordnik.com), check your Wordnik user settings page; log in on Wordnik.com and go to:
