Sign up for the 10-day trial, deploy the IAM role in the AWS console, add the account in the Cloudviz app, pick the $49 Team plan because the API isn't on the Base plan, then create a key under Manage API Keys. After that it's two calls. GET /aws/accounts/ for the account ID, then GET /aws/accounts/{id}/{region}/{format} with svg, png, pdf, drawio, jsonDiagram or jsonSnapshot. A snapshot over 30 seconds returns 202 and you repeat the same GET. Around that loop, nothing. Throttling is per key on rate, burst and a daily cap with no numbers, 429 comes with no Retry-After, and there's no status page, changelog or SLA. The newest blog post is from 14 March 2025. Two because the diagram call is a single GET, and an unattended pipeline has no way to know when it will be refused or whether the service is up.

The developer page is a JavaScript viewer and llms.txt answers 404, so the raw spec is the readable part. Every operation says what it does and none says when not to use it. The call that matters is the snapshot GET, whose `format` is a proper enum (svg, png, pdf, drawio, jsonDiagram, jsonSnapshot) on a typed path. Per the OpenAPI file, a snapshot slower than 30 seconds gets a 202 with an in-progress state and is polled on the same URL. Status codes 200, 201, 202, 204, 400, 401, 403 and 404 are documented, but the error messages aren't, and example bodies are few. A model gets a small typed contract that never says what failure sounds like. Three. Small and typed earns trust, and the silence on failure costs it.
