Security considerations
- WebHooks require you to have a unique "Browser device" on your account. Create these on our Devices page
- TTS commands are all unique and have the access token built into the address itself.
- DO NOT share your WebHook URLs or TTS addresses publicly. They allow viewing and control of all your SplashTiles Screens.
- WebHooks/TTS do not allow access to your user account, subscription, payment, or screen editing. These all require your username and password.
Rate limits
- Use of the SplashTiles API is subject to rate limitations
- All accounts have hourly rate limits to prevent service disruptions caused by user programming errors
- Image uploads consume your rate limit at 5X rate
- Pro accounts have higher rate limits
- If you have exceeded the rate limit, API calls will return HTTP code 429 which also contains a "Retry After" time. Do not automatically retry on this error code!
- If you greatly exceed the rate limit, you will also receive an email from SplashTiles. If this occurs please check your automation for errors.
- Be careful with motion triggers. They need to be configured properly to avoid LOTS of false triggering!
