}The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns error details in JSON format:
| Status Code | Description |

}To ensure fair usage and maintain service quality, we implement rate limiting:
Rate limit information is included in response headers:
X-RateLimit-Limit: Maximum requests per hourX-RateLimit-Remaining: Remaining requests in current windowX-RateLimit-Reset: Time when rate limit resetsIf you exceed your rate limit, you'll receive a 429 status code. Wait for the reset time or upgrade your plan for higher limits.
