Captivate Fm Rate Limits

Captivate does not publish numeric rate limits for its public API in the Postman documentation at docs.captivate.fm. Access is per-account and authenticated with a Bearer token obtained by exchanging a user ID and API token. The commercial constraint on an account is the plan's monthly download allowance (30,000 / 150,000 / 300,000 depending on tier), which governs how much listening traffic the hosting will serve - it is not a per-request API cap. No per-minute or per-hour request ceiling, burst limit, or 429 policy is documented as of the review date.

Captivate Fm Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Captivate on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, downloads, and bytes.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Podcasting, Podcast Hosting, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
