Bureau Of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms And Explosives Atf Rate Limits

ATF publishes no rate limits and returns no rate-limit headers. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that invented free/professional/ enterprise tiers with per-minute and per-month quotas for an agency that sells nothing and issues no API keys. None of those numbers were ever ATF's; all have been removed.

Policies

No published usage policy
ATF documents no fair-use rule, no throttling behaviour and no contact for requesting higher volume. A consumer building on these endpoints has no stated ceiling and no warning before one is enforced. Rate-limit the client side conservatively and cache: the regulation text changes at Federal Register cadence (27 CFR 646 has not changed since 2014) and the feature layers were last edited 2026-06-17 and 2026-04-16.
