Responses
| Header | Type and limits | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cache-Control | string; {"pattern":"(?:^|,\\s*)no-store(?:,|$)"} | Private API responses prohibit storage. Public OAuth metadata is cached for 300 seconds; live streams additionally prohibit transformation. |
| Content-Language | string; {"enum":["en","de"]} | Language of human-readable response text, resolved from Accept-Language or the documented browser preference. Technical codes and identifiers remain stable. |
| Referrer-Policy | JSON; {"enum":["strict-origin-when-cross-origin","no-referrer"]} | The default referrer policy is strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Provider-login responses use no-referrer to protect login parameters. |
| Vary | string | Responses vary by Accept-Language; browser-rendered responses can also vary by the preference cookie. |
| X-Content-Type-Options | JSON; {"const":"nosniff"} | The browser must use the declared content type. |
| X-Frame-Options | JSON; {"const":"DENY"} | The response must not be embedded in a frame. |
| X-Request-ID | string | Server-generated request identifier. Include this when reporting an error; inbound values are not trusted. |
