description: >-
  MemberClicks does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for the MC Professional
  API in its public developer documentation. The API is a per-organization,
  OAuth 2.0-protected REST interface, and access is tenant-scoped by client
  credentials rather than by a documented per-minute request cap. The one
  quantitative paging constraint that is documented is on list endpoints:
  pageSize defaults to 10 and is capped at a maximum of 100 records per page
  (with pageNumber defaulting to 1). Integrations should page through large
  result sets and implement backoff on error responses.
notes: >-
  No per-account or per-endpoint numeric request-rate limit is documented as of
  the review date. Verify any account-specific limits with MemberClicks /
  Personify when provisioning API credentials.
