Limitations

• There is monthly limit of 25,000 requests for reverse encoding API.
• Redis Cache 30MB
• Heroku 550 free dyno hours each month. The server will sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. In this case the first request might be slow

Issues

• If the server is running on secured domain use HTTPS for sending request.
• If the server is running on localhost HTTP can be used.
