Rate limits

Each API key has two independent limits:

Limit	Default	Header
Requests per minute	60	`x-ratelimit-remaining`
Ingest requests per day	500	`x-ratelimit-daily-remaining`

Default limits are intentionally conservative for v1. Email support@myeden.me with your expected volume and we’ll raise them. The daily header is only returned on POST /v1/videos — status checks and archive/republish/delete don’t count against the daily ingest budget.

When you hit a limit

HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
retry-after: 42

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limited",
    "message": "Request rate exceeded. See retry-after header.",
    "request_id": "req_a1b2c3d4e5f6"
  }
}

The code is rate_limited for RPM violations and daily_ingest_limit for daily budget violations.

Best practices

Respect retry-after. Add exponential backoff with jitter.
For bulk catalog imports, spread ingest across the day or coordinate a temporary limit increase in advance.
Reuse HTTP connections — keep-alive reduces cold-start latency.
