Application Research Rate Limits

The Application Research index aggregates five open-source workload/component/discovery specifications (Score, CNAB, OCM, ORD, Radius). These are specifications and OSS toolchains rather than hosted commercial APIs; the base URLs in apis.yml are illustrative. There is no central rate-limited endpoint to govern. When deployed against a self-hosted CLI or platform integration, throughput is bounded by the consuming platform's capacity (Kubernetes API server, Helm, ArgoCD, Backstage, Terraform).

Limits

Specification toolchain throughput self-hosted
varies
bounded by consuming platform
Score / CNAB / OCM / ORD / Radius are CLIs and SDKs; rate is bounded by the underlying Kubernetes / Helm / Terraform / Backstage runtime, not by any hosted API.

Policies

Self-Hosted Capacity Planning
Rate-limit considerations are inherited from the platform consuming the specification (Kubernetes API server, Helm registry, ArgoCD controller, Backstage), not from the specification authors themselves.
Registry Etiquette
When pulling CNAB bundles or OCM components from public registries (GitHub Container Registry, Docker Hub, etc.), respect those registries' published rate limits.
