Managing Execution: Check the status or cancel the execution of SQL statements.
Authentication: Use OAuth or Key Pair methods.
Batch Requests: Execute multiple SQL statements in one request.

Limitations:
The Snowflake SQL API has a few limitations:
Rate Limits: There are limits on the number of API requests that can be made within a specific timeframe.
Response Size: The maximum size of a response that can be returned by the API is capped.
Timeouts: The API has a timeout for SQL execution; long-running queries may need to be broken into smaller queries.
