Medium Rate Limits

Medium publishes NO rate limits for its REST API. Its documentation (Overview, Authentication, Resources, Testing) contains no limit, quota, throttle or 429 reference, declares no RateLimit-*/X-RateLimit-*/Retry-After response header, and none of the six refined OpenAPIs in this repository declares a 429 response. A client therefore has no runtime signal at all: it cannot read a remaining budget, cannot learn a reset time, and has no documented backoff contract.

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

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.
