limit_count: 0
note: >-
  Monetate publishes NO numeric rate limits and NO rate-limit response headers. The only evidence that any
  throttling exists is a single declared 429 response — "Too many requests. The user has sent too many
  requests in a given amount of time to a rate-limited endpoint." — on GET /data/{schema_name}/ in the
  Data API spec. That is the entire published surface: the phrase "a rate-limited endpoint" confirms
  limits are enforced, while naming neither the window, the ceiling, the scope, nor a Retry-After. The
  Engine API — the high-volume, per-page-view endpoint where an agent most needs a budget — declares only
  200 and 400 and says nothing about throttling at all. Searched the Engine API, Data API, Metadata API
  and Auth API documentation spaces plus the Monetate knowledge base; no limits page exists.
  A limit_count of 0 here is a real finding about the provider, not an unchecked field.
limits: []
response_headers:
  documented: []
  observed: []
  note: >-
    No X-RateLimit-*, no RateLimit-* (RFC 9239 draft), no Retry-After documented on any operation. Live
    observation was not possible: api.monetate.net and engine.monetate.net both return HTTP 503 to
    unauthenticated requests, so no header set could be read from a real response.

  body: >-
    Standard Monetate envelope — {"meta": {"code": 429, "errors": [...]}, "data": {}} — with untyped
    error items.
  retry_after: not documented
known_quotas:
- surface: Metadata API list endpoints
  parameter: page_size
  value: 1000
  type: page-size ceiling, not a rate limit
  source: https://developer.monetate.com/metadata-api/get-interpretable-values-with-the-metadata-api
  note: >-
    "1000 is the maximum allowed in one request." This caps response size per call; it is the only
    published numeric ceiling of any kind on the Monetate APIs.
