Architecture Overview
Understanding our platform's architecture will help you build more efficient integrations.
Core Components
REST API
Standard HTTP endpoints for all CRUD operations and data access.
WebSocket
Real-time bidirectional communication for live updates and streaming.
Authentication
API key-based authentication with rate limiting per tier.
Rate Limiting
Token bucket algorithm with tier-based limits for fair usage.
Request Flow
- 1. Client sends request with API key in header
- 2. API validates key and checks rate limits
- 3. Request is processed and logged
- 4. Response returned with rate limit headers
