## Notes

Candidate. Both Trove API pages answered every fetch on the day of review with a bot check page, so the API terms of use were not read. Search results quoting the Using the API page say ongoing use needs an active API key and acceptance of the Trove API Terms of Use, and that the call rate is set per key. This row stays a candidate until a person reads the terms.
