I'm not seeing an obvious solution to this other than allowing some time 
between requests which raises other issues, like, the currency trader 
jockey pressing "get my price now" every minute. [1]

I have an odd currency pair that only works in the early hours in 
european time.  That is sort of OK for me because I know when it works 
and it is when that market is open.

I sort of feel sorry for anyone providing free prices these days.

So many tiny people wanting so much for free.

[1] I am known for saying that gnc should not be used for trading as it 
isn't suitable. For starters it records a price per day, think about the 
significance of that for an intra day trader.  Duh!
