Rate Limits

API requests are subject to rate limiting:

• Standard endpoints: 100 requests per minute
• Click tracking: No rate limit (designed for high traffic)
• Event tracking: No rate limit (designed for conversion volume)

Public Endpoints

Some endpoints don't require authentication:

• /api/click - Click redirect (used by tracking links)
• /api/event - Conversion tracking (used by postbacks)

These are designed for high-volume public traffic.
