Great question!

Size limits are pretty small, a little over 1mb per basket.

As for data retention, the account has a TTL of 5 days, baskets 3. Any activity on the account/bucket will result in the TTL's being refreshed.

Some API requests get a JSON response (Retrieve Account, Get Basket). Others get a plain text response (Create Account, Create Basket). Errors seem to get an HTTP response with an HTML page. Is this documented anywhere?

Ouch that is confusing. And no, I haven't added these details to documentation yet. This is a bit of an issue at the moment, having everything return in one format is the right thing to do.

Will be addressing this in the near future - thanks!

The Retrieve Account API seems to always return an empty baskets array, even if baskets with data exit. fyi,

Oh yeah, this definitely needs to be addressed and is currently an active issue on GitHub. Thanks for reporting!
