Thanks -- typo will be fixed on our next push.[1] There's limits to how open we can be with data, because the service is used for e.g. court opinions that aren't published yet. But for public links we're working on API, Memento endpoints, Internet Archive mirrors, etc. -- it's definitely something we're thinking about. Re: sustainability (and account limits), as you can tell we're not trying to maximize growth here. Quite the opposite -- we're opening up access only as much as we feel we can support for the long term. It's a free service and there are no promises, but it's run by the Harvard Law School Library and isn't a short term play. [1] https://github.com/harvard-lil/perma/commit/ca84be28ccccf0f1...
In Perma.cc helps scholars and courts create permalinks of the web sites they cite
