rateLimits:
  description: >-
    disease.sh does not publish explicit rate limit thresholds. The API is
    free and open with no authentication. Users are expected to cache responses
    where possible as data updates are not real-time. The service has handled
    over 100 billion requests to date and is designed for broad public access.
  published: false
  notes:
    - No documented per-minute or per-day request caps as of 2026-06-13.
    - Responses include a cached timestamp; consumers should respect update
      intervals rather than polling aggressively.
    - For high-volume production use, self-hosting the open-source API
      (github.com/disease-sh/API) is recommended.
