Southwest Airlines Rate Limits
Southwest Airlines does not publish rate-limit documentation for any third-party-accessible API. The www.southwest.com/api endpoints are internal / first-party. Any limits applied to partner integrations (NDC, loyalty, distribution) are governed by the partnership contract rather than a public throttling policy.
