Overture keyword tool

[markus]

Anyone notice how the Overture tool ( ) is dying a slow death?

Yet it seems to work in other places (like nichebot.com)

Is there an API if you want to work with it?

[cdc]

Yes, and I'm quite disappointed about it.

Worse than having to pay for keyword queries at Adwords or WordTracker, I have to write some code to interface with them.

I'm too lazy...

yeah its been slow for ages.
i think way too many people are automating it serverside so the browser requests just cant compete.

Overture has an API - actually, it's even handier than the original tool as it lets you target particular markets/countries

Infact my lads have built me a few tools that are using Overture's API - very handy. Alas, when Overture had problems recently the API wasn't workign well either
