This used a JSON decode written in ActionScript grabbed from JSON.org, plus a JSON encoder written in C# (it did not take long to write because I did not attempt to serialize arbitrary objects). Some gratuitous URL-encoding was also involved. Compared with passing the same data structure via URL-encoded XML to be picked apart by ActionScript's DOM support, it was easy and much more like fun.</p> @jamesv: The first thing I did with JSON at work was pass it in to a Flash movie via FlashVars.

Running the script here on a series of URIs got me the 999 error (no sure how many had run). There’s a 2 second pause between calls, I thought that would be polite enough. Still throttled now, maybe 10 mins later. Any suggestions for what would prevent throttling? How long it needs to recover?
