  1. I had a developer key that was working up until about a minute ago.. I got a returned XML file saying that the developer key has been disabled. Why is this? How can I re-enable it? It probably means you've hit limit of service requests for the day. We automatically limit requests to each service from all developers to try to prevent abuses of the system. If you hit your daily limit, your developer key will get frozen out of the service for 24 hours. After that, we'll re-enable your key and you'll be free to make requests until you hit your daily limit again.
    1. What are the limits for each service? Can I get my limit increased? The default limits are: 1000 requests to Job Search service, 500 requests to Job service, and 500 requests to Application service. If you think these are too low for your software, send a message to api@careerbuilder.com with an estimate of what you'll use and we will adjust your limits. Its important that we work together to set limits appropriate to your needs. If you're consistently getting frozen out of the service, we may suspect you of abuse and disable your key permanently.
  2. I am starting a new site and would like to know the best way to integrate with Careerbuilder API. Are there any PHP scripts out there? Do you offer any? Unfortunately, no. But, if you write any scripts, in any language, I encourage you to share them with the community here on the wiki. Other developers will certainly appreciate your efforts!
