description: >-
  Natera does not publish public API rate limits. Its integration surface is
  clinical EMR/EHR connectivity (Epic Aura, OncoEMR, point-to-point HL7) and
  the Constellation partner-lab platform - none of which expose a documented
  public RPM/TPM-style quota. Any throughput or message-volume constraints are
  defined privately within each integration or partnership agreement and are
  not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  reconciled false: no public Natera rate-limit documentation exists. HL7 / Aura
  message throughput and Constellation job concurrency are governed by private
  integration agreements. Revisit if Natera publishes developer rate limits.
