Thanks! The key is not private, it‘s simply a ‘favor’ to the API to identify where the requests are coming from. The app gets a higher rate limit in exchange for registering.
Fwiw, the author of the API is a co-worker and I checked with him first, he says it’s all fine. Or put another way, if it’s not fine I’ll hear about it. :)
This is a client JS API key. If you want to spoof the referer you have to hack into all users of the web page and change the referer header their browser sends. And for what? Makes no sense.
If you're also interested in the correlation between Twitter hashtags, we show those on http://hashtagify.me - in a visual way; a table is coming soon.
Interesting. What about including a second column showing the back correlation? An example: 'WPF' appears 6% of the time for 'C#' questions, while 46% of 'WPF' questions include the 'C#' tag. Would be interesting use this to identify ontological hierarchy trends.
Thanks, this should be resolved (after GitHub’s cache clears). I was returning a limited # of results, and both R and Go ranked low enough not to appear.
