  Full read of AbleSky's public surface on 2026-09-06 — www.ablesky.com and its
  product, FAQ, download, deployment and help-centre pages, plus
  https://www.ablesky.com/robots.txt (HTTP 200) — looking for any published
  request limit, quota, window, burst, response header or exhaustion status.
description: >-
  AN HONEST ZERO. AbleSky publishes no API, so there is no API rate limit to
  record, no documented window or burst, no X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit-* /
  Retry-After header contract, and no documented status code on exhaustion. The
  only request-pacing directive AbleSky publishes anywhere is a crawler
  Crawl-delay, which is a robots.txt courtesy to indexers and is NOT an API rate
  limit; it is recorded separately below so it is not mistaken for one.

    note: >-
      A robots.txt Crawl-delay applies to crawlers fetching HTML, not to API
      clients. Recorded for completeness and explicitly NOT counted as a rate
      limit.
notes:
  - >-
    api.ablesky.com exists and answers, but with a blanket nginx/1.6.0 HTTP 403
    on every path including "/". A refusal is not a rate limit and no
    Retry-After or RateLimit header accompanies it.
