Thanks for the info, and for the warning. If it's really a problem with "requesting data for many guilds", that won't be an issue with my addon, as it's only using the codes from my own guilds (one NA, and one EU). So it won't be looking for any others. (On the PTS, it'll try for EU first since most of the time there's an EU copy, then NA if it can't find that.)
Even if it's the frequency of GetGuildRecruitmentMessageAttribute(guildID) pings (the only one I'm using, once I have access to it), I don't expect my library to ever have so much popularity that it would be a problem.
Unless someone else decides that this concept works for something that they're doing, that's a lot more popular - then it could potentially a problem. I hope that doesn't happen.

Correct - the information is definitely not accessible when the guild is not listed. I've tested that.
(Guild listings are also automatically disabled when the GM has been offline for a month.)
