# Platform API

> Manage databases and streamline operations across channels

The Platform API helps manage databases and streamline operations across channels. Use it to handle accounts, databases, data transformations, and import/export schedules efficiently.

**Use this API to:**

* Create and manage accounts and databases
* Configure and update imports, exports, and schedules
* Add, update, and delete data transformers
* Manage channel credentials securely with vault entries

## Rate Limiting

Included headers in every authenticated response (success or failure):

* **X-Rate-Limit-Group**: The name of the API group.
* **X-Rate-Limit-Remaining**: The number of remaining requests in the current time window.
* **X-Rate-Limit-Reset**: The timestamp when the rate limit will reset.

If the rate limit is exceeded, the API will return an HTTP 429 status code and a message with how many seconds to wait until the limit resets.

```json
{"status":"fail","message":"Rate Limit Exceeded. Please wait -timeUntilReset- seconds before trying again."}
```
