    Authentication is handled via **Basic Auth** (using your Workspace ID as username and API Key as password), and all requests additionally require the `MOE-APPKEY` header (Workspace ID).


    The API has a platform-wide rate limit of **100 requests/minute OR 1000 requests/hour**, with a maximum payload size of **5MB**.
