# Reference

## Ratelimits

To keep things simple, a reasonable 10 requests per 10 seconds across all API calls is enforced. If you surpass this limit, you will be blocked from performing additional requests for one minute.

## Responses

Each response from the API will always be valid JSON with `application/json` as the `Content-Type`. The only exception to this rule is Cloudflare landing pages. You may encounter such pages if Sandra is offline or you are being rate-limited.

Certain fields will always be present, such as `status`, `success` and `version`. Success denotes if the requested action was performed successfully or not. If the request was not successful, you can expect the `message` field as well.

```csharp
{
    "status": 404, // Integer
    "success": false, // Boolean
    "version": "...", // String
    "message": "Not Found" // String
}
```
