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"
}

This happens sometimes, just re-enter the api key in the code, and then restart the app, browser or whatever you're testing the api on; and this somehow fixes it

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:

This just started to happen to me today. It was previously working fine for the last 2 weeks. There's no way I've exceeded the limit since we have not released the app yet. I'm thinking it's a bug server side.
