Do you run into any query limits with aggressive scraping? A colleague wrote an android market scraper a year or two back and she was repeatedly stymied by limits on the number of queries she could make to the store before getting cut off.

We don't do any aggressive scraping at the moment, so I can't really answer to that. The way our backend stuff works is that when we want to add an app to the site (http://gdgt.com/best/apps), we query for the search results, and then grab the app we're looking for.
