| Hi.
1. I want to pull some data from BL into my collection tracker in Google Sheets.
According to the API docs here https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page ,I am supposed
to use this URL to get a consumer key
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/api/register_consumer.page
But it says "Seller only, you must register as a seller".
Is this a hard requirement? I am a private person. Or is it just to perform additional
checks?
2. Also, I've learned that there is a limit of 5000 requests/day. While my
collection did not yet reach even 25% of that (yet ) I want to be mindful
of BL resources. Is there a way to perform bulk requests (same API on a range
of similar items, for instance, pull details on 10 sets in one go)?
Many thanks in advance!

| Just FYI, you can convert to a seller account even if you have no intention of
selling anything
