Third-Party Platform Limitations (e.g., Websites, LinkedIn)
Sendspark can generate videos using content from external sources such as websites or LinkedIn profiles. While our system is designed to work reliably, these features depend on third-party platforms that we do not control.
Each platform (for example, websites vs. LinkedIn) may have different rules and limitations, including:
Rate limits (how many requests can be made in a given time)
Security protections against automated requests
Temporary or permanent restrictions based on usage patterns
Because of this, video generation may occasionally fail or be rejected—not due to an issue within Sendspark, but because the external platform has limited or denied the request. Basically, results can't be guaranteed; they are subject to the response you get from the host.
Common Scenarios
1. Website-based backgrounds
Some websites block automated requests or scraping activity
Access may be restricted based on IP, region, or security settings
Failures can happen unpredictably depending on the site’s configuration
2. LinkedIn profile backgrounds
LinkedIn applies stricter controls on automated requests
Sending too many requests in a short period can trigger temporary blocks
This may result in failed or rejected video generation attempts
Recommended limits for LinkedIn:
Keep usage between 20–30 videos per day
Avoid large bulk requests in a short timeframe
If you exceed these limits and experience failures:
Wait 24–48 hours before retrying
Reset your session (cookies) before starting again
Key Takeaway
Sendspark’s video generation system is fully operational, but when using external sources, performance is subject to the availability and policies of those platforms. We continuously optimize our integrations, but cannot override third-party restrictions.
