description: Zype publishes no API rate limits. This file records that absence with the evidence for it, replacing
  a 2026-05-04 generated scaffold that asserted 10/100/1000 req-per-minute tiers and X-RateLimit-* headers Zype
  has never documented.
note: 'HONEST ZERO. Searched: the docs overview page (which documents authentication, errors, pagination and video
  formats but says nothing about limits), every reference page listed in docs.zype.com/llms.txt, the pricing page,
  and all 15 OpenAPI files. No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-*, or Retry-After header is declared on any of the 317 operations;
  the token 429 appears exactly once across ~1.1MB of specification. There is a real hard limit on page size — per_page
  maximum 100 on every list operation — and that is the only published quantitative bound on API consumption, so
  it is recorded below as a pagination limit rather than a rate limit.'

  note: 429 is declared on exactly one operation across all 15 specs and is documented nowhere.

  value: 100
  scope: every list operation

  note: Pagination is mandatory on all list requests; default 10, maximum 100. An agent enumerating a large library
    is bound by this, not by a rate limit.
commercial_model: API access is bundled into the product tier (see plans/zype-plans-pricing.yml). Encoding and content
  delivery are metered at "preferred usage rates" that are not published, but API requests themselves are not a
  metered unit.
