How many articles does Stanford Social Innovation Review publish per day?

5 on a median day, measured across 44 days.

Can I use this commercially?

The API is free and unauthenticated. What you may do with the content is between you and the publisher: we return metadata, a lead paragraph and a link, not a licence.
