Limits and privacy
This project is intentionally narrow. It should be treated as a practical helper, not a complete certification or security audit. Check the implementation and the returned data before using it with sensitive material. No credentials are required. Note: BGG throttles aggressively and sometimes answers HTTP 202 while preparing results; the server retries automatically. BGG may refuse datacenter IPs (401/403) — from a home connection it works fine.
