Important updates on our subscription terms and new limitations

Since I manage domains with Microsoft Access, it is natural for me to use its VBA programming language to access dotDB via its API. I first talked about it last year at https://dotdb.com/news/2019-09-08/vba-api-access-example .

In this article, I'll explain the two keys provided by dotDB that I use to rank domains. For details on the API, please refer to https://dotdb.com/api-document/. When you call dotDB, it returns a response in the Json data format. The data contains the following two keys.
