description: Redfin publishes no public API rate-limit documentation. Internal Stingray and GIS endpoints
  power Redfin.com but are not offered as a documented public API; partner access is negotiated directly
  and any throttling terms are contractual.

notes: No public rate-limit documentation exists. Limits and headers are not published; consumers must
  obtain terms via a Redfin data partnership.
