description: >-
  Dyte's v2 REST API is authenticated with HTTP Basic auth (organizationId:apiKey)
  and enforces per-organization rate limits on management calls (creating meetings,
  adding participants, starting recordings/livestreams, querying sessions). Concurrent
  usage is governed primarily by the participant-minute model and per-meeting
  concurrency rather than per-second request quotas. Specific numeric per-endpoint
  limits are not published in detail and are not reconciled in this artifact, and
  may change as the platform migrates to Cloudflare RealtimeKit.
notes: >-
  Verify per-endpoint REST limits and per-meeting concurrency caps in Dyte / Cloudflare
  RealtimeKit documentation on reconciliation. The product is transitioning to
  Cloudflare RealtimeKit; limits may be superseded by Cloudflare quotas.
