  Live response headers from https://sbgi.net/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=2 observed
  2026-08-12; no rate-limit documentation exists to search.
limit_count: 0
documented: false
summary: >-
  Sinclair publishes no rate limits for the corporate content API and returns no
  rate-limit response headers. That is an honest zero, not an unmetered promise: the
  surface sits behind Cloudflare and WP Engine, either of which may shed load without
  a documented signal, and the only published pacing hint anywhere on the property is
  the Crawl-delay directive in robots.txt.
limits: []
response_headers:
  ratelimit_standard: false
  x_ratelimit: false
  retry_after: false
  observed: []
  note: >-
    None of RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-Reset, X-RateLimit-*, or
    Retry-After were present on any 200 or 4xx response observed. An agent has no
    runtime signal to back off on.

  status_code: null
  body: null
  note: Not observed. No throttling was triggered during this probe and none is documented.
pacing_guidance:
  source: https://sbgi.net/robots.txt
  crawl_delay_seconds: 10
  note: >-
    robots.txt declares Crawl-delay 10 for all user agents and disallows nothing. This
    is a crawler directive rather than an API rate limit, but it is the only pacing
    number Sinclair publishes anywhere, so it is the most defensible interval to
    respect. Combined with the 600-second cache-control window on API responses,
    polling faster than once per ten minutes returns nothing new.
infrastructure:
  edge: Cloudflare
  origin: WP Engine
  cache_control_max_age: 600
  note: >-
    A per-response cache-control of max-age=600 caps the useful polling rate far below
    any limit that would need enforcing.
