Like several other Librarything users I use electronic books published by Logos. I've written a web-script that creates a bibliography of resources I own in Logos, mainly so I can import those resources into LT. What I'd like to be able to do is use the API to lookup a potential ISBN, so I can use that for the import. Once it works, I'd like to open it to other Logos users. I have two questions:

(1) It would potentially hit your server hard for a short period. I have 3,500 resources. Other users may have a bit less. But it's very unlikely to be used very often, as once you have the data you're unlikely to request it again. But at times it will exceed 1,000 requests per day. Can I have permission to do that?

(2) It would help if I could cache the results. So once I match ISBNs to a Logos resource I don't need to re-do the lookup if other users have the same resource. Does the licence allow this?
