limit_count: 0
note: >
  Albacross publishes NO numeric rate limit for any of its APIs. The /data-api page states only
  that "rate limits are customized based on use case and expected volume", and the developer
  documentation's error table says a 429 means "You have exceeded your request quota. Contact
  support@albacross.com to increase your limit." The limit is therefore a per-contract quota
  negotiated with sales, not a published, self-serve number an agent could plan against.
  limit_count is an honest 0: exhaustion behaviour is documented, the threshold is not.
limits: []
quota_model:
  type: contract-negotiated
  documented_dimensions:
  - name: Requests quota
    source: OpenAPI 429 description — "'Requests quota'/'Identfied quota' has been exceeded - please contact Albacross"
    limit: null
  - name: Identified quota
    source: OpenAPI 429 description (same string)

    note: >
      The product plan quota (100 / 500 / 5000+ identified companies per month) is published and
      is the closest thing to a documented ceiling, but it governs platform identification volume,
      not API call rate.
exhaustion:
  status_code: 429
  reason: Too Many Requests
  documented_message: You have exceeded your request quota. Contact support@albacross.com to increase your limit.
  remediation: Contact support@albacross.com or your account manager to raise the quota.

    Probed live on 2026-08-12. Neither https://api.albacross.com/reveal/company/62.63.238.18 (401)
    nor https://api.albacross.com/enrich/companies/example.com (403) nor
    https://reveal.api.albacross.com/company/62.63.238.18 (401) returns any X-RateLimit-*,
    RateLimit-* or Retry-After header. The only runtime signal on the responses is x-request-id
    (present on api.albacross.com, Express) / apigw-requestid (on reveal.api.albacross.com, AWS
    API Gateway). An agent gets NO advance rate-limit signal from this API — it can only observe
    the 429 after the fact, and the 429 carries no Retry-After to back off against.
