  BetaList publishes no rate limits for its API. The documentation gist names no
  quota, window, burst or per-key ceiling, and defines no rate-limit response headers
  or 429 behaviour. The only related guidance is "Do use caching where possible" and
  a prohibition on making the content available in bulk. Volume is instead handled at
  onboarding: the support page asks every applicant for an "estimated request volume"
  and BetaList reviews each request individually, so limits are negotiated per token
  rather than published. Live probing could not observe headers because every
  unauthenticated response is a bare 401 with no headers of interest. An honest zero.

    Not rate limits, but the only published request-size ceilings: per_page is capped
    at 100 for /v1/startups and 500 for /v1/regions and /v1/markets.
