Architecture & Limits

This API is designed for speed and reliability using a dual-layer caching strategy:

Edge Caching: All endpoints are cached at the Vercel Edge Network. Response times for cached hits are typically under 50ms.
Smart Tiered Revalidation: Cache lifetimes are dynamically optimized to conserve upstream quota. Dynamic endpoints (ongoing/schedule) update every 6 hours, semi-static data every 24 hours, and completed series/movies are cached for 7 days.
Public Rate Limits: To ensure high availability, public access is securely protected by Upstash Redis. Requests are limited to 30 requests per minute per IP. Rate limit headers are included in every response.

Errors & Status Codes

Code	Description
200 OK	The request was successful and data is returned.
400 Bad Req	Missing required parameters (e.g., empty slug or keyword).
429 Too Many Req	Rate limit exceeded (Max 30 requests/minute per IP).
500 Server Err	Upstream server is unreachable or formatting changed.
