  - name: Wormholescan API Rate Limiting
    description: >
      The Wormholescan public REST API does not require authentication and
      is generally open for developer use. Some endpoints are documented as
      rate limited, though specific numeric thresholds (requests per second
      or per minute) are not publicly disclosed in the official documentation.
      Rate limiting is applied per IP address to ensure fair use across all
      consumers of the public API.
