## Other responses

- `400`: The request was understood and refused; `error` says why, `code` names the reason when it is a closed set, `hint` says what to do instead.
- `404`: No such thing; `hint` names where to look.
- `429`: Too many requests; `retry-after` says when and `code` is `rate-limited`. Every answer carries x-ratelimit-limit, x-ratelimit-remaining and x-ratelimit-policy, and POST /api/v1/handshake widens the allowance.
