Errors
Errors return an ok: false envelope. Rate limiting returns 429 with x-rate-limit-limit, x-rate-limit-remaining and x-rate-limit-reset headers. x-rate-limit-reset is the number of seconds until the window reopens. Retry-After is not sent, so schedule retries from x-rate-limit-reset; retrying sooner will fail again.
{ "ok": false, "message": "Unauthorized", "code": "UNAUTHORIZED" }
Rate limits for this version: enforced per endpoint; ceilings are not published and can change without notice. A 429 response carries x-rate-limit-limit, x-rate-limit-remaining, and x-rate-limit-reset (seconds until the window reopens). Back off from those headers rather than hardcoding numbers. Bundle import and export run under tighter limits than regular reads and writes, so schedule bulk transfers accordingly. See Rate limits.
