Hello,  
I would like to ask for clarification of Data export limit for API. In the documentation I can see information:  
“API is recommended for data sets of up to a few million events.”

Do you mean few million events per day or is there another logic?

Thank you!

Also here Kuba Bomba (Piwik´s CPO) states that API is suitable mainly for low-traffic sites. Could you please clarify what low-traffic roughly means in this case?
