API Restrictions

• The API has access rate limits depending on the current load on the servers. If you receive a HTTP 429 response, please try again (soon). We recommend using an exponential backoff for the requests to avoid immediately hitting the limit again.
• The API only responds to HTTPS-secured communications. Any requests sent via HTTP return an HTTP 301 redirect to the corresponding HTTPS resources.
• The API enforces a request size limit of 500MB. If a request exceeds this limit, the server responds with an HTTP 413. Please ensure that requests stay within the size constraint to avoid this error.
