# Provenance stamped 2026-08-11: this artifact was written by the API Evangelist
# bulk sweep dated 2026-05-04, not harvested from the provider. See roadmap#35.
# Corrected 2026-08-13: the "Partner-Negotiated Throughput" limit, the 429
# responseCode and the two policies this file carried were scaffold values from
# that sweep, not anything Albertsons documents. Removed. Albertsons documents no
# rate limits, so the honest value is limit_count: 0.

description: Albertsons does not publish public API rate-limit documentation. Throughput is determined
  inside Media Collective and partner / CPG agreements.

notes: >-
  Verified 2026-08-13. Albertsons documents no rate limits, no quota headers and
  no throttling status code anywhere public. Nothing could be observed live
  either: the recorded API host api.albertsons.com has TCP 80 and 443 filtered
  and the Azure API Management developer portal host does not resolve, so no
  response headers were obtainable. Throughput, if it is specified at all, sits
  inside a Media Collective advertising agreement.
