<p>Hi Jez</p>
<p>You can limit the number of requests to a specific URL (or set of
URLs) by IP address - so polling "every available UPRN" would not
be an issue (e.g. can limit the number of requests from a given IP
over a given time period). <br>
</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

I have no problem with licencing but the UPRN and related data is
<br>
managed by Authority custodians - do they not retain ownership of
that data?<br>
<br>
If the authorities sell it to OS, then should this be raised with
The Rt <br>
Hon Alok Sharma MP (he owns 100% of the shares of OS)?<br>
<br>
N.B. there are some aspects to address data that is subject to
other IP <br>
rights but the remainder..... is surely of public interest and
value.<br>
