## FAQ

**Where can I find the API endpoints?** \
Find them here: [https://docs.dsc.gg/endpoints](https://docs.dsc.gg/endpoints-v2)

**I got a 429! What can I do?** \
This means you have hit the rate limit. If you need an extended rate limit, refer to our whitelisting program.

**Are there any requirements for whitelisting?** \
We don't have a set "requirement" of anything to get whitelisted. We will whitelist you if you provide a valid reason why you need to get whitelisted, if you follow all our guidelines, and if your application is fairly large (smaller ones shouldn't need whitelisting)

**How do I get whitelisted?** \
You can apply by pinging a mod in #support or #api-discussion for instructions on what you need to provide to us. We won't be whitelisting random applications without a good reason why whitelisting is needed.

**I can't access the endpoint \[Insert endpoint here]!** \
Chances are this means the endpoint is for whitelisted apps only. Refer to the "How do I get whitelisted?" question for more information on this.

**\[Insert something] doesn't make sense!** \
If you need help with something, refer to our quick start guide or ask for help in #api-discussion.

**I need help with something not listed here!** \
For other questions or general discussion, use #api-discussion
