Frequently Asked Questions

Which header standard?

IETF RateLimit (Limit/Remaining/Reset seconds) and legacy X-RateLimit-* both parse. GitHub-style (X-RateLimit-Reset epoch) converts to wait durations automatically.

429 handling?

Read Retry-After first (seconds or HTTP-date), else Reset timestamp. Sleep that long plus jitter — immediate retries extend bans.

Why do limits differ per endpoint?

Search, write, and auth endpoints carry separate buckets with different costs. Parse per-endpoint headers, never assume global.

Is header data uploaded?

No — parsing runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
