description: >-
  Campfire's developer API is a token-authenticated (Knox) REST API scoped to a
  customer's own tenant. Public documentation does not publish specific numeric
  rate-limit values (RPM/RPD/burst) as of the created date. Standard REST fair-use
  throttling should be assumed, with 429 responses on overage; several list
  endpoints are paginated, which implicitly bounds per-request payload size.
  Specific limits are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Confirm exact per-endpoint and per-tenant rate limits, pagination page sizes,
  and any bulk-endpoint caps with Campfire support / docs during reconciliation.
  Bulk endpoints (e.g. bulk create invoices, bulk match GL transactions) exist
  and may carry their own batch-size limits.
