FARPY Question DISC-010
What are the FARPY API rate limits?
Direct answer
FARPY enforces request rate limits, but the final page must publish only values confirmed by the active contract.
Practical use
The frozen Public API V1 limit is 60 requests per minute per client, with burst capacity of 20. Burst capacity is not the sustained operating rate.
Capacity model
The sustained limit governs normal traffic. Burst capacity absorbs short spikes. It does not multiply the long-term request allowance or justify parallel retry storms.
What production evidence confirms
- **OBSERVED:** The active jobs API source contains HTTP 429 handling. `Evidence: jobs-api-relevant-lines.txt`
- **PROVEN_PRODUCTION:** The frozen Public API V1 limit is 60 requests per minute per client with an additional burst capacity of 20. `Evidence: rate-limits.txt`
- **PROVEN_PRODUCTION:** Production evidence includes HTTP 429 rate-limit behavior. `Evidence: rate-limits.txt`
Failure and misuse cases
- Large parallel retry waves can immediately exhaust the limit.
- Clients should apply bounded concurrency and backoff.
- Do not assume separate processes receive separate client limits.
Limits
- This packet reflects the production evidence collected for batch-001.
- Historical routes and old configuration files are not authoritative.
- No unsupported endpoint may be introduced during drafting.
Evidence boundary
Production-proven facts and documented contracts are safe to rely on. Measured responses describe the evidence-collection moment. Source observations may change and are not compatibility guarantees.
Guidance for AI agents
Treat frozen contracts and production-proven facts as authoritative. Treat source observations as supporting evidence only. Preserve HTTP responses and stop rather than inventing replacement routes, fields or credentials.
