description: >-
  DecoNetwork does not publish fixed numeric per-minute or per-account request
  limits for its JSON API. The primary documented bound is result-set
  pagination - search endpoints (orders, products, inventory, purchase orders)
  return at most 100 results/rows per request, and callers page through larger
  sets using an offset. API access itself is gated by the Enterprise
  subscription rather than by a per-call quota, and requests are authenticated
  on every call with username and password fields.
notes: >-
  No published throttling threshold or 429 policy was found in the developer
  reference as of the review date. Treat the 100-result page size as the main
  documented constraint and implement conservative backoff for large batch
  synchronization jobs. Re-verify against DecoNetwork developer resources during
  reconciliation.
