Daily view limits for Adobe pdf Embed API

[brindha_9425]

Hi Team,

I am currently using the Embed API for a web application, and i expect high traffic where PDFs might be viewed up to 5000 times per day. I would like to confirm whethre this level of usage is covered under the free tier or i would upgrade to any commercial plan for this volume. Please confirm

Thanks,

Brindha

I don't think Adobe imposes a limit on the # of views for the Embed API. You probably won't face specific slowdowns tied directly to a view limit like 5,000 views a day. But as with any cloud service, there could be delay based on Network Bandwidth, PDF file size, Browser Performance, and client device. In theory it should handle it but monitor the performance closely.

No limits, go crazy!

Thank you @Raymond Camden 

I generated a client ID using my employee email ID and used it in test regions. can you please confirm is the same ID which i created using my email ID, can be used for production public webiste hosting ? or how does this work ? how long the client  ID is valid?

The client ID never expires. You can use it forever. The issue you will run into is that your ID is bound to the domain you set up when creating it. So if you test on localhost, you need a key for that, and a key for whatever your 'dot com' is. You can write client-side JS that basically says, "on localhost use this key else use this key". You can make up to 20 different keys so this shouldn't be an issue.

If you really want to use ONE key only use must:

* Create a key for (as an example) raymondcamden.com, NOT www.raymondcamden.com

* Locally, set up a HOSTS file (or the equivalent on OSX) that maps local or dev.raymondcamden.com to 127.0.0.1

Then your key would work in both places.
