description: >-
  The GitClear public REST API authenticates with a per-account Bearer API token.
  GitClear does not publish specific numeric rate-limit values (RPM/RPD) in its
  public API reference; report endpoints are paginated via a `page` parameter and
  callers should expect standard throttling responses on excessive usage. Specific
  per-account limits are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public numeric rate limits are documented by GitClear as of the review date.
  Verify any enforced limits and pagination behavior directly with GitClear support
  or in the API reference on reconciliation.
