  Finalcad publishes no rate limits. The whole developer portal — Getting started, Common behaviors
  (Errors, Differential behavior, Language selection), every endpoint description and every
  step-by-step tutorial — contains no quota, no throttle, no burst allowance, no 429 response and no
  rate-limit header. Live unauthenticated probes of the API host returned no RateLimit-*,
  X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers either. What Finalcad publishes instead are two PAGING
  limits, which are not rate limits and are recorded separately below so they are not mistaken for
  one.
limit_count: 0
published: false

probes:
- url: https://developer.finalcad.cloud/api
  status: 403
  rate_limit_headers: none
  observed_headers: [date, content-type, content-length, x-amzn-requestid, x-amzn-errortype, x-amz-apigw-id]

  status: 403
  rate_limit_headers: none

not_rate_limits:
- name: pagination limit
  value: 50 (default), sent as the `limit` query parameter
  detail: >-
    Maximum number of elements returned per call. Published examples also show limit=500 in
    organization and project listings, so the ceiling is higher than the default; the ceiling itself
    is not documented. Constraint: `offset` must be a multiple of `limit` or the call returns 400
    INVALID_INSTANCE_STATE.
- name: media chunk size
  value: 5242880 bytes
  detail: >-
    Minimum (and, except for the final part, exact) size of an upload part in the chunked media
    flow. Files at or below 5 MB may use the single-shot upload instead.
- name: chunked upload session TTL
  value: 3600 seconds
  detail: expires_after_secs returned by POST /medias/uploadinit.
- name: dataset generation cadence
  value: once a day at 06:00
  detail: >-
    Organization datasets for Power BI are regenerated daily, which is an effective freshness limit
    on the bulk-export path rather than a request limit.

inference_risk: >-
  The API is fronted by AWS API Gateway (x-amz-apigw-id on every response), which has account- and
  stage-level throttling available. Whether Finalcad has configured any is not observable without a
  key, and no limit is asserted here on the strength of the infrastructure alone.

gaps:
- An integrator cannot size a bulk backfill — there is no documented request-per-second budget.
- No 429 is documented anywhere, so client retry logic has nothing to key on.
- No rate-limit headers means limits, if they exist, are invisible at runtime.
