Cache responses when possible
Store frequently accessed data locally to reduce API calls.
3.
Use batch operations
Combine multiple operations into single requests where supported.
4.

Use the Primrose dashboard to track your API usage and set alerts.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
