description: >-
  The Bridge API paginates responses and constrains result-set size rather
  than publishing a single fixed per-second request quota. The Bridge Web API
  returns paged bundles controlled by limit/offset, and the RESO Web API
  (OData) pages with $top/$skip; result sets beyond 10,000 records must use the
  Property replication endpoint for full extraction. Specific per-account
  request-rate ceilings are governed per dataset and are not reconciled in this
  artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify current pagination ceilings and any per-token request-rate limits in
  the Bridge platform documentation on reconciliation; behavior can differ
  between v2 and v3 endpoints (v3 changes $top semantics to match the OData
  spec).

responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: Bridge Web API Page Size
  scope: request
  metric: records
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Controlled by the limit parameter with offset-based pagination.
- name: RESO Web API Page Size
  scope: request
  metric: records
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Controlled by $top / $skip; v3 changes $top to represent total collection size.
- name: Replication Threshold
  scope: dataset
  metric: records
  limit: 10000
  notes: Result sets larger than 10,000 records must use the Property replication endpoint.
- name: Per-Account Request Rate
  scope: account
  metric: requests
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Governed per dataset and access token; specific ceilings not reconciled here.
