RE: One by one, but not in bulk

I think you'd need to figure out how you could express this "not in bulk" requirement in terms that a machine could understand.

For example, you might be able to express this as a restriction on how frequently the API could be called. Or by imposing a limit to the number of times it could be called within a given timeframe. (Both of these are typical "rate limiting" strategies for APIs).

Regards,

Stuart

No, what I mean is you're not allowed to hit the API repeatedly and thereby collect the full dataset, not that there's a big red button marked "do not push!"
