Limelight API
The Limelight API allows you to programmatically access and manage your Limelight data.
Authentication​
All API requests require a valid API key. Include your API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer llt_live_your_api_key_here
You can generate and manage your API keys from Settings > API Keys in the Limelight dashboard.
Rate Limiting​
API requests are rate limited per API key. The default limit is 60 requests per minute.
Rate limit headers are included in all authenticated responses:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | Maximum requests allowed per minute |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | Requests remaining in current window |
X-RateLimit-Reset | Unix timestamp when the window resets |
When the rate limit is exceeded, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header indicating how many seconds to wait before retrying.
