   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

  I compared everyone's birth dates (from Wikipedia and famousbirthdays.com, so maybe not 100% accurate), with the date of their first aired episode (because when the series were actually filmed isn't freely available knowledge), and it turns out that the oldest contestant was Jo Brand, 62 at the time the series aired.
