To my knowledge there is no maximum number of API requests per hour, only a 1/10th of a second (mandatory) delay between them (otherwise you get a HTTP 429).

The original name of “loves” was “love-its”. Technically speaking, this hasn't changed.

The limit is 10 requests per second to api.scratch.mit.edu. There isn't a stated limit for the rest of the site, but you should stay well below 10 requests/second. For the forums specifically the limit is 0.

Generation 4: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment.
