Re: Implementing TBA Api in Java

Each registered user/team gets a unique token that's used on every request - in other words, if you spam the server a ridiculous amount (for example, sticking it in an app like FRC Spyder and having every client hit the FRC servers) then FIRST can identify the offending developer and work with them to reduce the impact on the FRC servers (for example, by periodic polling of the servers and storage of results on a 3rd party server for further distribution from there).

Once FIRST accepts you in the group and issues you a token, message me on TeamForge and I'll send you some stuff to get you started there.
