    <title>topic API usage terms question in Spotify for Developers</title>
    <link>https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/API-usage-terms-question/m-p/6057249#M13851</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I am creating a website to recommend books and wanted to add a spotify link to an audio book if its available on spotify.&amp;nbsp; Every time I add a book to my site it will be querying the API to find out if the audobook is available.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I will not be using any of the metadata about the book from Spotify, I have already arranged rights from anoter source. I will merely be storing the link to the content so I can referr people if they view the page of that book.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Would this be a violation of the Developer Terms 4.2.d as I will be creating an automated tool to query the API to fetch that referral url if available?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If so, is there a way I can negotiate permission to add proper throttling to my requests so as to no create an unreasonable load on the API?&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks for your time and help.&lt;BR /&gt;-Nate Cotton&lt;/P&gt;</description>
