This endpoint has a per account rate limit of 50 requests per minute.
Document Creation Location for Create Endpoint
When there is no parent field on the request, the new document will be created in a default location depending on the authorizing token's scopes. If the token authorizing the request uses one of the
document.app scopes, then the document will be created in an
app-specific folder. If one of the document.content scopes is used, the document will be created in the user's My Documents folder. If both types of scopes are authorized on the token, the document.content behavior will take priority and the document will be created in the user's My Documents folder.
