Description
This API converts between the hexidecimal-based application IDs used by the FCC in the License Management System (LMS) and the more user-friendly integer-based application IDs used by REC (known as "recID").
recIDs in the range from 1~2999999 are legacy application IDs from CDBS. recIDs with numbers starting at 5000000 are CDBS and LMS applications that have been processed by eLMS and LMS applications that were not eligible for eLMS processing.
This API is considered open and does not require a key or a subscription. This API is intended to promote the use of recIDs in the industry. Subscribers can use their API key in order to receive a more liberal rate limit if needed.
More information about recIDs can be found at https://recnet.com/recID

Rate Limiting
The general rate limit for unauthenticated accesses across all REC APIs is 20 calls per minute (one call every 3 seconds). Calls to other REC non-API services subject to rate limiting also contribute to this count. These other services may have lower rate limits. For authenticated users, the rate limit will be based on negotiations with REC Networks for API access.
Please note, the data contained in an API is also available through a flat file updated daily. Visit https://recnet.com/recID for details and the link to download this file. REC does not require a subscription or other relationship to receive this daily flat file download.
