API Calls?

I am a bit confused about API calls count. Like for example it shows me API Calls 74 Maximum Monthly 100 So i want to know is this(74) the number of api calls made from my server for the current month or in total the total the total api calls made?

I think it is the total, not the monthly - if you search in the forums, you will find others have raised this issue.

Yeah, total since you began. It's been brought up before, and for the most part, the big info I garnered out of it all was "Don't abuse it and you won't lose it'. For the most part, it's merely to keep people from needlessly over using the resources. Unless you're downloading your 74th app since this morning, I wouldn't worry too much. :) Cheers! -- Smug

Yep - the big thing about API calls is to make sure someone doesn't take the self-hosted software and rebrand it as their own, thus making a competing product to Buzztouch. If you think you're getting close to hitting 100 calls/month, send an email to Stephen Mercurio and ask for some leeway. But 100/month is quite a lot for most people anyway.
