# Overview

> Import, retrieve, and delete products, and upload media, with the Videowise API.

The Videowise API is for **catalog and media** — not for embedding widgets or live shopping. For on-site embeds, start with [Shoppable videos](/shoppable-videos/overview) or [Live shopping](/live-shopping/overview).

Use the Product API when you are not on Shopify (or need to sync a custom catalog) to import, retrieve, and delete products. Use the Media API to upload video and image files.

## Operations

* **Bulk import** — import multiple products in a single request
* **Single import** — import or modify one product
* **Retrieve product** — fetch details by reference ID or SKU
* **Delete product** — delete a product by reference ID or SKU
* **Upload media** — upload a video or image file

## Base URL

All API requests use:

```plaintext theme={null}
https://api.videowise.com
```

## Limitations

* **Product limit:** maximum of 10,000 products per request
* **Rate limit:** 100 requests per minute

## Recommendations

* Send bulk imports in smaller chunks to avoid timeouts, even though the maximum is 10,000 products per request
* Prefer bulk import over many single-import requests
