description: >
  Small Improvements does not publish explicit rate limit thresholds in its public API
  documentation. The REST API (v2) is described as intentionally lightweight and
  provided on an as-is basis for customers with experienced development teams. The API
  evolves based on application needs and changes can occur without notice. Customers
  planning to use the API are asked to submit an implementation spec before access is
  granted; Small Improvements reviews these requests within 7-10 business days. No
  specific request-per-minute, daily quota, or burst limit figures are documented.
