## Field mapping

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's [unified schema](https://onekey.dev/docs/schema.md). Fields the source lacks come back as `null`.

| Source path | Onekey field | Transform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `label` | `entity.name` | - |
| `updated` | `ext.updated` | - |
| `id` | `ext.dimensions` | - |
| `size` | `ext.size` | - |
| `value` | `ext.values` | - |
| `status` | `ext.flags` | - |
| `dimension.geo.category` | `ext.geo` | - |
| `dimension.time.category` | `ext.time` | - |
| `dimension.purpose.category` | `ext.purpose` | - |
| `dimension.c_dest.category` | `ext.destination` | - |
| `dimension.duration.category` | `ext.duration` | - |
| `dimension.statinfo.category` | `ext.measure` | - |

## Caching and freshness

- Fresh for about 6 hours. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
- Between 6 hours and 7 days the cached copy is still served instantly and marked `stale: true` while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
- If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 7 days more (marked stale).
- A "not found" is remembered for 1 hour and is free.
- The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

## What can go wrong

| Status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Check the `x-api-key` header. |
| 402 | `insufficient_credits` | [Add credits](https://onekey.dev/pricing); your balance must cover the price. |
| 404 | `not_found` | That record does not exist. Free; do not retry. |
| 422 | `invalid_params` | Fix the parameters using the table above. Free. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 502 | `upstream_error` | The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff. |

See [Errors](https://onekey.dev/docs/errors.md) for the full list and retry guidance.
