 If you provide a known Etag value, then (if the response has not changed) this endpoint will return a 304 response instead of the response body. 304 responses do not count against your rate limit usage. Optional. If not set, the request will count against your rate limit usage.

Response Headers

X-RateLimit
 The rate limit configured for this server, this is set to 2,000.
X-RateLimit-Remaining
 The number of requests remaining for the current rate limiting period. If this value drops to 0 then you will not be able to submit any further requests using this API key until the limit resets.
X-RateLimit-Reset
 The time when the rate limit will next be reset. This is expressed as a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds (the number of milliseconds since January 1st 1970).
