# Best practices

### ⏱️ Rate limiting

* Default limit: **60 requests/minute per App Secret**
* Exceeding the limit returns: `429 Too Many Requests`

***

### 🔁 Retry policy

Recommended exponential backoff:

* Retry after 2 seconds
* Double delay each time
* Stop after 5 attempts max

***

### 🔐 Security

* HTTPS required for all requests
* Never expose secrets in client-side code
* Rotate secrets periodically

***
