description: >-
  The Eiger API V3 is a RESTful interface scoped to an Eiger organization and
  authenticated with HTTP Basic Auth (Access Key / Secret Key). Markforged does
  not publish specific public rate-limit values (RPS/RPM or quotas) for the
  Eiger API. Clients should expect server-side throttling and design for it.
  Specific limits are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public Eiger API rate-limit numbers are documented. Verify any per-account
  or per-key throttling, retry, and 429 behavior with Markforged/Eiger support
  or the developer reference during reconciliation.
