## API basics

| Detail         | Value                          |
| -------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Base URL       | `https://api.palpluss.com/v1`  |
| Protocol       | HTTPS only                     |
| Format         | JSON                           |
| Authentication | HTTP Basic (API key)           |
| Rate limit     | 60 requests/minute per API key |

## Response format

Every response is wrapped in a standard envelope:

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "requestId": "c1b2a3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890"
}
```

Errors use the same envelope:

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "message": "Invalid API key",
    "code": "INVALID_API_KEY",
    "details": {}
  },
  "requestId": "c1b2a3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890"
}
```

Save the `requestId` from every error response. It is required when contacting support.
