Philadelphia Inquirer Rate Limits

The Philadelphia Inquirer does not publish per-IP or per-key rate limits for its public RSS feeds and sitemaps. The site's robots.txt restricts a small set of paths (search results, betting, light pages, wires, previews, systest folders) but does not declare a Crawl-delay or rate ceiling. Consumers should treat the RSS feeds as hourly-refreshing and avoid aggressive polling.

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

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined.

Tagged areas include News, News Media, Newspaper, Journalism, and Philadelphia.

Policies

Feeds rebuild approximately hourly; clients should poll no more often than every 15 minutes per feed and honor HTTP caching headers.
Sitemaps are large; clients should respect HTTP caching and conditional GETs. No declared Crawl-delay in robots.txt.
Dewey MCP runs as a self-hosted FastMCP server; rate limits are determined by the deployer's Azure AI Search tier and the operator's own configuration, not by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
