American Greetings Rate Limits
American Greetings publishes no API rate limits, and its one public API returns no rate-limit signal on the wire. This artifact records that against evidence: limit_count is 0 because there is nothing published, not because nothing was checked.
American Greetings Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for American Greetings on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.
The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, serviceUnavailable, and note.
Tagged areas include Greeting Cards, Gift Wrap, Celebration, and Rate Limiting.

Documentation Status
No published per-second, per-minute or per-day limit on any American Greetings surface. The corporate site's 20 indexed pages contain no developer or API section.
Observed Ceilings
The only enforced ceiling found is a pagination one, declared in the provider's own route index: per_page has minimum 1 and maximum 100 on wp/v2 collections. That is a page-size cap, not a rate limit.
Backoff Strategy
Because no limit is published and no throttling header is returned, a client cannot know when it is close to a ceiling. Keep request rates modest, serialise rather than parallelise, and apply exponential backoff with jitter on any 429, 503 or edge 403 — the Akamai edge in front of the company's other hosts already returns 403 to unfamiliar clients.
