Freddie Mac Rate Limits

Freddie Mac publishes the SHAPE of its rate limiting inside every gateway-fronted contract but never the NUMBERS. 28 of the 45 operations declare a 429 response with two distinct sub-codes: 429.001 'Rate limit exceeded, too many requests have been sent per second' and 429.002 'Quota limit exceeded, too many requests have been sent per minute'. That is a standard Apigee spike-arrest plus quota policy pair, and it tells a caller which of the two ceilings it hit. The actual per-second rate and per-minute quota are set per app/product and are negotiated in the Seller/Servicer or technology-partner agreement.

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

It captures 2 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests.

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

Tagged areas include Mortgage, Housing Finance, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

Per-app, counterparty-scoped
Limits attach to the Developer Portal app (client ID) created by the counterparty's Developer, and are governed by the partnership terms rather than a public tier.
Backoff on 429
With no Retry-After published, exponential backoff with jitter is the only available strategy; 429.001 clears within a second and 429.002 on the quota window.
