On: Show HN: The Honeybadger

It looks like Traffic section will not be available as I'm over the quota limit from compete.com. Major bummer. Anyone know of any other free alternatives out there to get traffic stats about sites?

Unfortunately compete.com has a 1,000 reqs/day allowance ... so expect to see a lot of "Honeybadger don't care" message. I'm going to try to see how much the api costs and see if I can get the quota removed.

Email someone there and offer to include their logo and a link in exchange for a higher limit. API limits are almost always negotiable.

ok just did, hopefully we can work something out. thx :)

Just set it up so there's an options.html where you put in your own API key, and make users signup for Compete themselves. Problem solved.

Good idea, but that fails with other sites, better use this "url template": siteanalytics.compete.com/embed_chart/google.com/small/
