Why We Limit UPC Lookups

We don't limit lookups just to force you to create a membership. We really wish that we didn't have to limit lookups in any way because this site was originally created to help the public or even businesses find information using the UPC codes on virtually any product.

After running this site for some time over on the Schworak Site as the Public UPC project, we discovered that some people were simply downloading our data using various robot like tools. This was drastically draining our computer resources. In itself, the drain wouldn't have been a problem if it was being caused by actual people instead of computer programs. In an attempt to stop the automated downloading of our UPC data collection we have put limits on how many lookups can be done by any member on anonymous user accessing our system. We use free and credit based lookups to help stop the programs that were taking our data.

We are sorry that it has come to this but a very few problem causing people running programs to take our data has forced us to take these steps. Perhaps in the future we can find other ways to allow more lookups while keeping the automated programs from lifting our data and wasting our resources.
