 * Hi,
 * Thanks so much for releasing this plugin.
 * Can I suggest that you add an option to set the API key in the wp-config.php 
   file with a PHP constant? Maybe set the notification email(s) via PHP constant
   as well?
 * I see you have rate limiting in place, if I have a server with about 100 sites,
   can I use a single API key? Is this volume of usage allowed?
 * Thanks again.

 * Hi [@gbotica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbotica/),
    currently it’s 
   only possible to set these options via the settings page. We will have a look
   into providing them via wp-config.php too in a future version.
 * Regarding the API Limit you are right, there is a limit in place. If you need
   an account with unlimited API Usage please contact us at team [at] wpvulndb [.]

 * We now also show a message in version 1.1 if the API limit is hit.
