# 2026-08-12 REWRITE. The previous contents of this file were a bulk-sweep scaffold
# (free/professional/enterprise tiers at 10/100/1000 rpm with monthly quotas of
# 1,000/100,000/unlimited). Capterra publishes none of those numbers and never has —
# they were placeholder defaults, not provider data, and they are removed here rather
# than carried forward. An honest zero is the measurement.

  Rate limits for the Capterra Click Report API. Capterra publishes no rate limits.
  The API reference lives behind the vendor console login, and the live API host
  returns no rate-limit signaling headers on anonymous responses, so there is
  nothing to record on either the documented or the observed side.
limit_count: 0

headers:
  observed: []
  note: >-
    A live GET to https://public-api.capterra.com/v1/clicks returns 401 with the
    following headers and NO rate-limit family at all: date, content-type,
    content-length, x-frame-options, x-xss-protection, x-content-type-options,
    x-permitted-cross-domain-policies, referrer-policy, vary, cache-control,
    x-request-id, x-runtime. No X-RateLimit-Limit / X-RateLimit-Remaining /
    X-RateLimit-Reset, no RateLimit-Policy, no Retry-After.
responseCodes:
  observed:
    - status: 401
      meaning: unauthorized (no or invalid API key)
    - status: 404
      meaning: unrouted path or method
  throttled: unknown
  note: >-
    A 429 was never observed and is not documented. Whether the API throttles at all,
    and with what status, is unknown to an unauthenticated caller.
