I think loading the full html and then writing a parser to dissect some of that information with straight Javascript or JQuery would alleviate some of the calls looking like spam, but that probably has a limit too and I'm unsure that would include all of the relevant information easily available. Not sure of the legality of this or what kind of hoops third parties have had to jump through, and it would be the most costly probably unless you start charging for its usage. Potentially another option is to roll-your-own API service, which could somehow pull inventory data at a rate that doesn't hit limits. The Steam platform is the largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming, estimated around 75 of the market share in 2013 according to IHS Screen Digest. You can also filter any type of item and the value will recalculate. There is a whole subreddit dedicated to this too, here's a relevant post for the API call to get all of a user's inventory items: Check the value of your inventory, taking the average price from Steam Community Market.
Some third parties include SteamApis and Steamlytics. While this is annoying, often times a company or a third-party will recognize the need for doing bulk transactions against their data, and open up an API (usually for a fee):
I've ran into this trouble with trying to pull Wikipedia/DBPedia information. Most webpages and APIs have limits as far as requests, this helps prevent malicious DoS attacks or simply too much of a resource drain (often costly too).
