hey guys whats wrong with your API? ive been testing an application that polls your site so that I can track asset movements.

I use an adaptive algorithm that polls the ticker data no less than once every ten seconds.
for inactive stocks it can poll as slowly as once every 10 minutes.


anyways as far as I can remember there were no polling frequency limits when I last read the API doco  (most sites like Gox have a limit of 10 seconds)

my IP address has now been banned by havelock... so I cant check the API documentation, cant report tickers, cant trade stocks..

if I had an S$$$ tonne of money tied up on your exchange I would be majory pissed by now..


no warnings, no details on polling limits, no info on the ban page..

what gives?

It only firewalls on FAILED LOGIN ATTEMPTS... so... either you failed logging in one too many times, or you somehow pissed cloudflare off and they forced a captcha on you.  The firewall applied on failed logins automatically clears after a short period.
