Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This page is a template provided with the source code. Have a qualified lawyer review and adapt it for your jurisdiction and your operation before you rely on it or publish it as your own policy.

Purpose

This policy sets out what counts as acceptable use of the service. It forms part of the terms of service.

You may

You may not

Rate limits and fair use

Requests are rate limited to keep the queue usable for everyone. Deliberately working around those limits is a breach of this policy.

Content the service will not fetch

The service does not log in to any platform, so content gated behind a sign-in, a paywall or an age check cannot be retrieved. Attempts to make it do so are not supported.

Enforcement

We may rate limit, block or otherwise restrict access for anyone breaching this policy, and may report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

Reporting

Report misuse through the report abuse page.
