    description: >
      The FDIC BankFind Suite API does not publish explicit rate limit thresholds
      in its OpenAPI specification or public documentation. As a U.S. federal
      government API serving public data, reasonable use is expected. The API
      supports up to 10,000 records per request using the limit parameter and
      provides pagination via offset to retrieve large datasets without hitting
      per-request caps.
