Flagged. If you want the feedback of the community you have to at least have the backbone to post a damn URL. Advertising spam like this with some unbounded claim to email so we can "work something out" is an abuse of this system, IMO. Post a link or don't ask for help.

The API is currently not exposed to the public internet. I'll keep your feedback in mind for the future.

Hey, I understand. It's hard to do this sort of stuff, especially inside large companies. However, posting an anonymous "call for participation" of sorts is a serious put-off. At a minimum you need to post a link to the company you represent. Preferably you should post a link to the API itself or some documentation of the API. It doesn't have to be public, private beta's happen all the time and people ask for participation here--but it's done transparently. Personally, I'm a user of the type of data you're talking about. This is what I do. Why should I waste time investigating it more until I know what I'm dealing with? I've talked to all the major data vendors and know what they offer--are you offering something new? I just don't know because you won't tell me, and I'm not going to start emailing around wasting my time until I've atleast vetted that it is something that works for what I do.

Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback.
