No documentation exists to search — Hydrow publishes no API reference. limit_count: 0 rate_limits: [] note: >- Hydrow documents no API rate limits, because Hydrow documents no API. limit_count is an honest zero, not an unchecked field. x-observed: - surface: https://hydrow.com/ (marketing site, Vercel edge) observed_status: 429 observed_on: every path probed, including /robots.txt, /llms.txt, /.well-known/security.txt, /membership/, /blog/ and /pages/terms-of-service response_headers_exposed: [] retry_after: false body: 33KB Astro HTML shell, byte-identical across paths interpretation: >- This is an edge bot/rate policy applied to non-browser clients, NOT a documented API rate limit and NOT evidence the pages are dead — Hydrow's own status page reports "hydrow.com website" as operational. It is recorded because an agent attempting to read hydrow.com will hit exactly this, and nothing in the response tells it what to do: no Retry-After, no RateLimit-* headers, no machine-readable reason. - surface: https://v2.api.prod.hydrow-external.net (production mobile-app backend) observed_status: 404 response_headers_exposed: [] interpretation: >- No RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers were returned on any anonymous response. Whether limits exist behind authentication cannot be established without credentials, and was not attempted.
