name: Sapio Sciences API Rate Limits
description: >-
  Sapio Sciences does not publish explicit public rate limit documentation for
  its REST API. The API is accessed through on-premises or cloud-hosted
  instances of the Sapio Informatics Platform, meaning rate limits are
  instance-specific and governed by the customer's own deployment configuration
  and server capacity. The sapiopylib Python client library supports batch
  request processing to optimize performance and reduce API call overhead.

  - type: Batch Requests
    description: >-
      The sapiopylib client library supports client-based caching and batch
      request processing to reduce individual REST calls and improve throughput
      when manipulating large numbers of data records.
    notes: >-
      Batch processing is the recommended pattern for high-volume operations.
      See the sapio-py-tutorials repository for implementation guidance.
  - type: Instance-Based Limits
    description: >-
      API rate limits are determined by the individual Sapio platform instance
      (on-premises or cloud-hosted). Limits vary based on server configuration,
      deployment type, and license agreement with Sapio Sciences.
    notes: >-
      Contact your Sapio Sciences account representative or system administrator
      for instance-specific rate limit information.
authentication:
  description: >-
    The Sapio REST API uses session-based authentication. The sapiopylib client
    connects to a Sapio server instance URL with credentials (username,
    password, and optionally a custom verification key) to establish a session.
    All subsequent API calls are made within that authenticated session context.
  method: Session / Credential-Based
  libraryUsage: >-
    Instantiate SapioWebApiClient with server URL, username, password, and
    optional verify parameter. The library manages session lifecycle
    automatically.
notes: >-
  No public SLA or uptime commitment is documented. Customers should consult
  their Sapio Sciences service agreement for availability guarantees. Rate
  limiting details are not publicly disclosed and must be obtained from Sapio
  Sciences support.
