description: >-
  Published rate limits for the Figment API. Stated in prose on the Getting Started reference page;
  not expressed in the OpenAPI and not signalled back to clients in response headers.
rate_limits:
- name: Requests per second
  limit_count: 200
  window: 1s
  scope: api-key
  applies_to: https://api.figment.io

- name: Requests per minute
  limit_count: 3500
  window: 60s
  scope: api-key
  applies_to: https://api.figment.io
  source: https://docs.figment.io/reference/getting-started-1
signalling:
  status_code: 429
  headers: []
  retry_after: not published
  spec_coverage:
    operations_declaring_429: 2
    operations_total: 129
  note: >-
    No RateLimit-* (RFC 9331 draft) or X-RateLimit-* headers are documented, and only two of 129
    published operations declare a 429 response. A client cannot discover its remaining budget at
    runtime; back-off must be inferred. This is the clearest single runtime-semantics gap in the
    Figment contract.
