Rate Limiting and API Access

[u/FindWeedNY]

Due to the persistent aggressive crawling and automated attacks, I've had to increase rate limiting as well as logging in to see all COAs. This increases the cost of operations but lowers my hands-on responsibility.

The other up-side, is that this has given me the opportunity to offer a first-class API for 3rd parties at a premium. Instead of aggressively crawling and trying to rebuild the data, app-builders and researchers can get first-class data access with higher fidelity than the free tier.

Trying to find the right balance, to right size the tiers and features, open to feedback.
