notes: >
  DocuSeal does not publicly document specific API rate limits in their REST API
  reference. The platform applies rate limiting via an internal RateLimit module
  for sensitive operations. Pagination is cursor-based using after/before
  parameters with a default page size of 10 items and a maximum of 100 items
  per request. For production rate limit specifics, contact support@docuseal.com
  or consult the self-hosted source code in lib/rate_limit.rb.

pagination:
  style: cursor
  defaultLimit: 10
  maxLimit: 100
  parameters:
    - name: after
      description: Cursor ID to retrieve results after (next page)
      type: string
    - name: before
