Introduction

These API Terms of Use ("API Terms") govern your access to and use of Suzko's application programming interfaces (APIs). By accessing or using our APIs, you agree to be bound by these API Terms, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.

1. API Access

1.1 API Credentials

To use our APIs, you must have an active Suzko account and generate API credentials. Your API credentials are:

1.2 Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated using one of the following methods:

• API Key: Bearer token in the Authorization header

2. Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and system stability, API requests are subject to rate limits:

Rate limit information is included in API response headers. If you exceed rate limits, you will receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) response. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your applications.
