I've asked about Amazon referral links and I was told that would be okay. However, offering a subscription, ads, pay-for-access stuff, that's not allowed still.

Thanks! I messaged the people in charge to ask just in case.

If I cache the game data from the Giant Bomb site could I potentially monetize my app? (Amazon referral Links?) I thought it was off the tables but I have heard of a lot of mobile apps with ads, paid versions etc... using multiple APIs include GB's..

Essentially I want to pull all the games and use it for an application, but I don't want to make the AJAX call everytime the page is refreshed so I want to cache it locally in the browser, but with the maximum results being limited to 100 that would mean I would need ~550 Ajax calls to get all the games, and load time is almost 45mins. (One call being ~5secs) So if I do Simultaneous AJAX Requests (meaning they are not 1 second apart) will I my pulling rate be limited? Or is there a better way to do this?

EDIT: I could try to use near simultaneous AJAX calls but precisely space them 1 second apart by using the Javascript Timing Events. (I will try that )
