Questions about usage limitations

I want to develop a mobile app that let users keep track of the movies they watch, tag and categorize them, comment, review, share their viewings. I need to invoke APIs for search purposes. Is 40 requests every 10 seconds rate limiting valid for commercial use too?
I'm evaluating the possibility to store some data taken from movie details returned by TMDb API in my database in order to implement search services among user's own movie lists . Would it be legal?
When it comes to commercial use, is there a cost for using API?

Hi @fabiomrch, at this time we are not issuing new commercial keys. Having said that though, to answer your question, no there was never any rate limiting difference. Everyone is rate limited at 40 requests per 10 seconds.
Depending on your intended usage though, a developer key is probably fine.

Thanks a lot for your answer @travisbell ! When it comes to movies information, would it be allowed to store them partially in my database?

Yes, caching the data is fine. As always, just be sure to attribute TMDb as the source of whatever data and/or images you use.

Yes, of course. Great news, thanks!
