Catch -22 on self-hosting!

Ok, I am not opposed to the API key concept, but suspect I will need more than 100 packages per month. They say to "contact" them if that is the case...but there is no way to contact them, except possibly by pony express/snail mail! So I am posting here hoping someone from BT will contact me! At least until I develop mental telepathy! lol :-) Joe C. CEO Red Dragon Software

Perhaps you don't understand 100 API per month. Used effectively that's 100 new apps per month, or 50 app using both Android & iOS source code for each. You don't need to download the source code but once for an app. Fred

Oh, and Buzztouch sees & hears all. I think it's by mental telepathy. But if you're in a hurry you could send email to info@Buzztouch Fred

For additional 100 API calls per month there's a $100/year fee (don't have a link to that info). Fred

So buy a second API key? If you are getting approx 100 apps per month, I'm sure you can afford a second API key along with a secondary server? Its $29.99 per month for additional api key. I'm jealous, you are probably racking in some good cashola:)

Well, yes and no. they give a street address - and an email they ask you NOT to use. It's only there for legal reasons. This day and age, snail mail just doesn't get it done. :-) joe

They receive a large volume of emails, people feel they need to reach out, but I'm sure they will reply especially if you're interested in additional API calls. But sending an email doesn't mean an instant reply. Fred
