Stackoverflow quota for a day

Question

I'm using stackoverflow in my meteor application,

I'm calling api directly from my code like below

HTTP.call("GET", urlString,{params:{site:"stackoverflow"}},function(error,result)
            {
                 console.log(result.data);
               });

I'm not using any oauth or client id secret id in my calls.

In the response, I'm getting a variable called quota. with maximum pings 300

Is that means I can only call the api for 300 times, I want more than that, I'm even ready to pay for it.

Is there a way to increase that number. Thanks

You are throttled because you have not registered your application. If you register your application, you will receive a quota increase to 10,000 hits per day. You will want to read the authentication documentation on how to utilize the keys you receive from registering your application.
