description: CBRE's developer portal at developer.cbre.com is partner-gated; rate-limit documentation
  is not publicly accessible. Limits are surfaced once a partner is onboarded and would typically apply
  per-application or per-account at the API gateway layer.
notes: Developer portal not anonymously reachable (host refused connection). Numeric limits are gated
  behind partner onboarding.
