Requested an API-key via my university email, as a researcher interested in materials about “Hessians”.
Got a key, but only 10.000 requests per month

How much info did you need to give them to get a key? I’m employed in an archive (not in the US) so maybe I can also request one from a ‘professional interest’ angle.

Really not much:

Dear O&M-Team,

I’m a researcher (History Studies) from Humboldt-University Berlin.
Currently I’m very interested in materials about “Hessians” as part of
my MA-thesis.

Would it be possible to get an API-key so I can query the database more
easily?
