Alexa Web Search Platform

Alexa is opening their engine to API access. This should provide a great opportunity to web researchers who otherwise have to deal with crawling. Of course Alexa & the Internet Archive are linked in some ways, and the IA have been nice about providing research access to their data, so it may be that the pricing can be avoided. However, for small slices of the data, it seems as if the pricing is not too bad. Worth considering as another resource, I suppose.
