API Notification

[WNYTradingCo]

Hello All,

Can anyone explain what this e-mail message means?

"If your application requires a higher quota, please contact us at developer@etsy.com with a description of your app and the requests you are making.
This message is to notify you that you are near the limit of your Etsy API quota. You have reached 80% of your quota of: 10 requests per 1 second(s)"

Thank you for any help!

could be Phishing??

Protect your shop info unless you are sure about an email like that

This kind of message would be sent to web developers who are working on writing apps that integrate with the Etsy platform. If you are not doing this then it would suggest, as @timelapse  mentioned, a phishing attempt (where someone tried to steal your log in details). Otherwise I might be some kind of bug. Perhaps you turned on the developer mode on your account some time ago but forgot to turn it off.

Thank you one and all. I am not very tech savvy and I have been trying to learn. Highly likely that I did this to myself in the process. I will contact the web developer who was helping me. P.S. thank you for accepting me to the group!
