Well, this is interesting.<p>I've been running <a href="http://jsonip.com" rel="nofollow">http://jsonip.com</a> for 4-5 years.<p>Right now, it's averaging 10 million requests a day.<p>I don't do any logging other than total bandwidth usage, in and out. I <i>have</i> been getting numerous noticed from my host because I haven't bothered to update the usage alarm levels. I'll adjust that when it matters.<p>Basically, I don't give a shit what you're using it for. Only <i>one time</i> in the last 4 years have I had to explicitly take action against an abusive user. If you're the dipshit with the misconfigured squid proxy a few years ago that got the 418 You're a teapot response, you know who you are.<p>Btw jsonip is a node.js service. It's been working at scale, just fine, and will continue to in the future.
