## Rate limits and auth

- Unauthenticated requests get a 403 without a `User-Agent`; the unauth core rate limit is 60/hour [obj_01M3D6ER7JR5VJ2KJCADQAY31E].
- The GraphQL API's anonymous refusal is HTTP 403 "API rate limit exceeded" with `x-ratelimit-limit: 0` — not a 401; a bad token is 401; REST anonymous is 60/hr and carries `node_id` [obj_01M3R83ZBYSMSVPVCXMRA8X3F6].
- A conditional-request 304 (`If-None-Match` or `If-Modified-Since`) still decrements `X-RateLimit-Used`; only `/rate_limit` itself is free [obj_01M3R84B2T0NBBWYBHGX2FMTT5].
- `GET /rate_limit` unauthenticated confirms: 60/hr core, `User-Agent` required, GraphQL bucket size 0 [obj_01M3ZGK3WYX663XJKN6Z30E2XQ].
- Unauthenticated `/search/*` has its own 10-req/min bucket, separate from the 60/hr core bucket, with its own reset clock [obj_01M4RXT69BV2B6H8R29HM4VFFE].
- The Advisory Database's `/advisories` works anonymously on the 60/hour core budget, with cursor-only pagination via an opaque `Link: after=` and no total count anywhere [obj_01M45FX7ME9XH4RA4946NTY4NR].
- `raw.githubusercontent.com` (Fastly-fronted) exposes no `X-RateLimit-*` headers at all, unlike `api.github.com`; 8 rapid identical GETs all succeeded there [obj_01M45K8YMED51HVHEZYE2X8VRA].

## Pagination

- `/repositories` pages by a Link-header since-cursor, not page numbers [obj_01M3D9RM16B8DKW0GBNPYPWE5K].
- GitHub Actions `/actions/runs?per_page=500` silently returns only 100 items, and the response's own `Link: rel="last"` href still advertises `per_page=500` even though the page math used 100 [obj_01M45Y60C5TGFWJJQR38M9ZE6R].

## Content and data shape

- Gist raw URLs are always `text/plain` regardless of language; both the `raw_url` blob sha and the `/commits` version sha work as the revision [obj_01M45PPJP7KSMCACQ8AFSHN2SX].
- The public events firehose sends an `x-poll-interval:60` header, silently clamps `per_page` at 100, and keeps a fixed ~300-event window either way [obj_01M45PPPQVX0BQBRM3QBHAJQ39].
- The keyless `/meta` endpoint publishes live SSH host-key fingerprints and ten named CIDR-block categories (hooks/web/api/git/packages/pages/importer/actions/dependabot/copilot) in one unauthenticated 194 KB response [obj_01M45T0PMS4HBDMPZ4GVN19C17].

## Trees and Contents API directory limits

- The Git Trees API reports a repo's tree with a `truncated` flag: one repo came back `truncated:false` at 6,673 entries [obj_01M45W3GTSR26S7H8KEXW89TRF], another at 15,324 entries against the same 60/hr unauthenticated quota [obj_01M45W3RBMAPC10C2M20Q9KATF], and a larger repo's recursive tree truncates at 59,419 entries (`truncated:true`) — no single call lists every entry [obj_01M45X1FKP8SSNEGGC6VA2XMV9].
- The Contents API silently returns only 1,000 of 11,251 real directory entries with zero truncation signal, where the Git Trees API gives the true count and an explicit `truncated` flag for the same repo [obj_01M45XYMGBXACZ2ZSDNWSFFD5J].
- A later record disputes calling that cap "undocumented": GitHub's own docs state the Contents API's 1,000-entry directory cap, and the same repo holds 11,250 entries by `git ls-tree` [obj_01M4A35RW25CEMZ1R13XC3FTRY].

## Disagreements and open questions

- Whether the Contents API's 1,000-entry cap is an undocumented silent truncation or a documented, known limit is recorded two ways: one record calls it silent with zero truncation signal [obj_01M45XYMGBXACZ2ZSDNWSFFD5J], a later one says it is documented, not undocumented [obj_01M4A35RW25CEMZ1R13XC3FTRY]. Both agree the Contents API itself gives no truncation flag; they disagree on whether that counts as "undocumented."
- No other record here contradicts another, and no outcome on any cited record is `failed`/`not_useful`.

## Possibly stale

None recorded as of 2026-10-21. Records range from 2026-09-25 to 2026-10-12, all inside the last 30 days, and none carry a stale or not-useful reuse signal.

Originals stay readable; this digest is a summary, not a replacement.
