-Spectro Cloud Palette platform capabilities are exposed via REST APIs, providing a subset of features that comply with open application programming interface (API) standards. 
+Palette offers a range of capabilities you can access through the REST APIs. These REST APIs are designed in accordance with open API standards, which ensure that the platform's features can be integrated with other applications and systems. By utilizing these APIs, you can tap into the platform's capabilities through programmatic methods. Use the APIs to build custom integrations and workflows that leverage the power of the Palette.

+## Requests
 
 All requests are in the `JSON` format. In general, the request payload has three sections: *metadata, spec and status*.
 
 * *Metadata* consists of common attributes for all the resources such as ids, names, creation timestamps etc. 
 * *Spec* consists of attributes that define the resource
 * *Status* contains the status information of the resource. The API does not support creating or modifying the status section.

 Certain update request schemas have restricted spec resource definitions, and specific fields like uid and creation timestamp cannot be modified post-creation.

+| 201 | A resource was successfully created. The response payload contains the uid of the created resource. |
 | 204 | Response without any content for a successful operation. These operations include update, delete and the other actions on the resource. |
 | 400 | Bad request. The request does not adhere to the API request payload schema. |
 | 401 | Missing authorization token or invalid authorization token. |
 | 403 | The API operation is forbidden for the user. |
 | 404 | The resource or the dependent resource is not found for the operation. |
 | 500 | Operational error. For 500 error code, the server responds with an explicit error code and an error message. |
 
-# Palette API Lifecycle
+## Palette API Lifecycle
 Palette APIs maintain backward compatibility until deprecation. The three API phases in the lifecycle are *Production*, *Sunset*, and *Deprecated*. Spectro Cloud will inform users when APIs transition through this lifecycle.

-# Versioning
+## Versioning
 
 The version information is included in the API URI, such as `v1alpha1` or `v1`. Future APIs will increment the version, leaving the earlier version intact. The existing API request and response schema will be modified to add new attributes or query parameters while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier schemas. Prior notice will be given before advancing to the next version, and users will be advised to migrate to the new API.
 
-# Scope
+## Scope
 
 Palette groups resources under either a Tenant or Project scope. When making API requests targeting resources belonging to a project, the project scope should be specified. To specify the project scope, use the HTTP header key `ProjectUid` with the value `<Project Uid>` in the API request. The `ProjectUid` needs to be specified for a request to be applied under a specific project scope.

-# Pagination
+## Pagination
+
+API endpoints that return a list have a limit of 50 items per return payload. Pagination is necessary for this purpose. The API response for the list includes the listMeta resource that contains the `continue` token. To perform pagination, you need to check whether the `continue` token value is present in the API response. For subsequent requests, use the `continue` token as a query parameter to paginate the remaining resource items.
+
+<br />
+
+```json hideClipboard
+    "listmeta": {
+        "continue": "eyJvZmZzZXQiOjUwLCJjb3VudCI6MTE3LCJ0b2tlbiI6IiJ9",
+        "count": 117,
+        "limit": 50,
+        "offset": 50
+    }
+```
+
+<br />
+
+Example of a subsequent request using the `continue` token.
+
+<br />
+
+```shell hideClipboard
+curl --location 'https://api.spectrocloud.com/v1/packs?continue=eyJvZmZzZXQiOjUwLCJjb3VudCI6MTE3LCJ0b2tlbiI6IiJ9' \
+ --header 'Accept: application/json' \
+ --header 'ProjectUid: yourProjectUid' \
+ --header 'apiKey: yourAPIKey'
+```
+
 
-The resources list APIs are limited to 50 items, and therefore pagination is required to retrieve the complete resources list. The list API response includes listMeta with the continue token. To perform pagination, check the presence of the continue token value in the API response. For subsequent requests, use the continue token as a query parameter to paginate the remaining resource items.
+## Rate Limits
+
+The API rate limits are as follows:
+
+* There is a limit of ten API requests per second for each source IP address. The API supports additional bursts through the usage of a burst queue. The default burst queue size is set to five. You could make 50 (10 * 5) requests in seconds before the API returns a `429 - TooManyRequests` error. Refer to the [Endpoint Prefix Rate](#endpointprefixrate) for additional information.
+
+
+
+* API request limits are categorized by the parent resources, such as `/v1/cloudconfig/:uid` and `/v1/roles`. You can find a list of all resource types in the [API documentation](v1/palette-apis-4-0.info.mdx). The requests are counted together if you make multiple requests to the same resource type but use different sub-resources. For example, if you make five requests to `/v1/clusterprofiles` and five requests to `/v1/clusterprofiles/macros`, the requests are counted together as ten requests to the resource `clusterprofiles`.
+
+
+* If too many requests are issued, you may receive an error with HTTP code `429` - `TooManyRequests.` We recommend retrying the API call after a few moments.
