Questions about Account Limitations and Using Companies House Data

Information
1

Hello friends,

I’m new to this forum, and I have a few questions:

  1. Is there a limit to the number of “applications” one can create for a single account?
  2. Or is there a cap on the number of “Keys” generated?
  3. If we extract data from Companies House and utilize it in a paid, commercial product, are there any issues with that? Are we permitted to do so?

Thanks in advance for any insights or clarifications!

Questions 1 and 2 from you - I am not sure about the number of applications but see the following from 2019 from Companies House on numbers of keys and overall rate limiting:

There are also some notes in passing - in the context of the Streaming API - about using multiple keys e.g. this thread:

https://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/how-many-streaming-api-keys-do-you-need-for-simultaneous-connection-to-all-six-streaming-end-points/4948

As for your question 3 (this seems to be being asked by a lot of people recently - I’m not sure why this should be? - see for example the following threads:

https://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/general-questions-regarding-access-to-company-house/6781

Good luck.
