description: >-
  Rate limits for the Tapfiliate REST API v1.6. Tapfiliate documents the RUNTIME
  SIGNAL but not the numbers: three response headers are published verbatim,
  while no threshold, window, burst allowance or exhaustion status code is stated
  anywhere in the developer documentation. A client can therefore only discover
  its limit by observing X-Ratelimit-Limit at runtime.

limit_count: 0
limit_count_note: >-
  Zero published numeric limits. The docs say only "Most endpoints have rate
  limits." No per-key, per-account or per-endpoint figure, and no per-plan
  figure, is published — including on the pricing page, which advertises click
  and conversion volume caps but says nothing about API request rate.
limits: []
headers:
  - name: X-Ratelimit-Limit
    description: The number of total allowed requests within a given period.
    source: https://tapfiliate.com/docs/rest/#header-rate-limiting
  - name: X-Ratelimit-Remaining
    description: The number of requests you have left before exceeding the rate limit.
    source: https://tapfiliate.com/docs/rest/#header-rate-limiting
  - name: X-Ratelimit-Reset
    description: When your number of requests will reset (Unix timestamp in seconds).

retry_after_header: false
exhaustion_status: null
exhaustion_status_note: >-
  Not published. No 429 response is declared on any of the 77 operations in
  openapi/, and the docs do not name the status returned when a limit is hit.
  Recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be 429.
scope: unknown
window: unknown
burst: unknown
notes:
  - Most API endpoints are subject to rate limiting; the docs do not say which are exempt.
  - Clients should read X-Ratelimit-Remaining and back off before it reaches zero.
  - Thresholds are not published and may differ by subscription plan.
  - >-
    The Enterprise plan advertises "Unlimited tracking capabilities", which may
    imply negotiated limits; no figure is published.
pagination:
  defaultPageSize: 25
  paginationHeader: Link
  paginationParameter: page
  paginationStyle: page-number
  note: >-
    Page-number pagination with no total count means a full-collection read costs
    an unknown number of requests up front, which interacts badly with an
    unpublished rate limit. See conventions/tapfiliate-conventions.yml.
