Developer Guidelines
Be respectful of system resource utilization
Access resources only once per session and make use of short-lived local cache
Only retrieve resources with a high likelihood of immediate user access
Limit look ahead to a reasonable number of pages
Constrain the size of resources used in fast scrolls to thumbnails
Access smaller resources rather than doing local downsizing
Limit polling to resources immediately required only
Employ a managed local cache to avoid retrieving the same rendition multiple times, but be aware that renditions can change
Avoid retrieving and caching unneeded resources
Store only supported file types and valid files in Lightroom
Failure to create thumbnails or import a file through a Lightroom application are both indications a given file is not supported
Invalid or unsupported files may be deleted
Limit retries
Responses with a 500 may indicate a temporary error condition and should be retried, after backing off.
Retries should be limited - 3
See https://status.adobe.com/ for system status
Contact Adobe should 500 errors persist
Other http errors should only be retried as guided in the documentation
Use the documentation
Undocumented features and functionality may cease to work without notice in a future release.
Please discuss any additional API or data needs with Adobe
Adobe reserves the right to avoid abuse of system resources. Failure to follow this guidance may result in a warning and possible revocation of your license keys
