      OurAirports does not impose API rate limits or access quotas. The data is
      served as static CSV files via GitHub Pages, which applies standard GitHub
      infrastructure limits. For bulk or automated access, GitHub recommends
      cloning the repository (github.com/davidmegginson/ourairports-data) rather
      than repeatedly fetching individual files over HTTP. Data files are updated
      daily; there is no benefit to polling more frequently than once per day.
    limits:
      - type: HTTP Downloads
        limit: No explicit limit stated
        note: Served as static files via GitHub Pages; GitHub infrastructure limits apply
      - type: Recommended Access Pattern
        limit: Once per day maximum
        note: Data is refreshed daily; more frequent polling is unnecessary
      - type: Git Clone
        limit: Standard GitHub rate limits for git operations
        note: Preferred method for automated or bulk data consumers
