Meters Overview

To prevent our servers from experiencing too much overhead, some API services are metered. Once these services are used a certain amount of times within a predefined interval, the system will respond with a message stating so.

If a meter interval has passed, the service's meter will be reset and the associated application may use the service until it runs out again.

This service allows a developer to determine how many tries they have left with each metered service they've used.
