description: >-
  Pynt publishes no API rate limits. This is an honest zero, recorded from
  direct observation: no rate-limit response header was returned on any live
  request, no 429 response is declared on any of the 134 operations in the
  contract, and no throttling, quota or fair-use page exists on docs.pynt.io.
limits: []
headers:
  observed: []
  note: >-
    Response headers returned by api.pynt.io on GET /v1/auth/check,
    GET /v1/application and GET /v1/scan/summary (all HTTP 401) were exactly:
    date, content-type, content-length, server (uvicorn). No RateLimit-*, no
    X-RateLimit-*, no Retry-After.
responseCodes:
  throttled: unknown
  note: >-
    No 429 appears anywhere in openapi/pynt-openapi.json. The only declared
    error status across the whole contract is 422 (validation). An agent hitting
    a limit has no documented signal to back off on.

  note: >-
    The 139-entry docs index carries no rate limit, quota or throttling page.
    The only "rate limiting" content on the docs site is a SECURITY TEST Pynt
    performs against its customers' APIs ("Lack of Resources and Rate
    Limiting") — not a limit on Pynt's own API. Do not confuse the two.
previous_state:
  note: >-
    This file previously carried invented per-tier limits (10/100/1000 rpm,
    1k/100k monthly quotas) and a full header set written by the 2026-05-04 bulk
    sweep, method: generated. None of it was published by Pynt. Replaced with
    the probed zero.
