University Of Sheffield Rate Limits

The University of Sheffield publishes no rate-limit table for any of its surfaces. The Sheffield Solar API returned no RateLimit-* or X-RateLimit-* headers on probe (2026-08-30) and its published OpenAPI declares no 429 response. The OAI-PMH endpoints on the White Rose repositories may throttle large harvests; ORDA sits behind Cloudflare, which will challenge or throttle automated clients irrespective of any Sheffield policy. Harvest politely, honour Retry-After, and contact the relevant service for bulk access.
