}Errors
Every error answers with the same envelope: an HTTP status, a machine code and a sentence.
400 | The body or a parameter failed validation. The details array names the field. |
401 | No key, a revoked key or a wrong header. Send x-api-key. |
402 | The wallet cannot cover this call. Top up or wait for the monthly grant. |
404 | The resource does not exist, or it is not yours. Both answer identically and cost nothing. |
429 | Over the per-minute quota of your tier. Back off and retry. |
5xx | Upstream refused or timed out. The call is not billed. |

Questions
What does List one page of a Dropbox folder cost?
1 token per successful call, debited from your wallet after the response. Failed calls are free. Every account receives 1000 free tokens a month.
How do I authenticate?
Send your key in the x-api-key header. One key covers every metered endpoint; there is nothing to enable per endpoint.
Can I send an Authorization: Bearer token instead?
Not for a metered endpoint — those take the x-api-key header and nothing else. Bearer tokens belong to the account side: the dashboard and account APIs accept a JWT session, and castomapi-auth issues those through a standard OAuth2 handshake, with authorization code, client credentials and refresh grants. The auth service page covers it.
What are the limits?
10 requests a minute per IP with no key at all, 60 a minute on the free tier, 300 on Pro, 1200 on Enterprise. Above the no-key tier the quota is per account, across every endpoint.
