Swapi Rate Limits
SWAPI does not publish documented hard rate limits. The swapi.dev and swapi.tech mirrors are community-funded, so consumers are asked to be polite — cache aggressively, avoid tight scraping loops, and respect 429 / 503 responses if they ever surface. This file captures the polite-use convention, not a contractual limit.
