Donately Rate Limits

Donately does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for its REST API. The API is a standard REST/JSON interface at https://api.donately.com/v2 authenticated with an API token via HTTP Basic Auth. As with most donation platforms, callers should implement retry with exponential backoff and honor any 429 Too Many Requests responses. Donately's core value is metered by donation platform fees rather than by API request volume, so there is no per-request billing.

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.
