Anonymous access to the public API and MCP server stays free — volume and full-corpus bulk data are what fund the ingest pipeline. One snapshot download replaces roughly 720,000 paginated requests, which is the actual pitch for anyone running a crawl.

Scale: nightly snapshots (manual delivery until the automated builder ships).
Annual billing is 10× the monthly rate. Anyone who becomes a paying customer in the first 90 days is grandfathered at today's prices — see data terms.
One-time bulk snapshots
A full export of the dataset as Parquet files, delivered by a signed link within one business day — see /docs/bulk for the file list and schema.

Why we charge
Anonymous access stays free — that's not changing. Volume traffic and bulk exports are what pay for the ingest pipeline that keeps the free tier free. If you're doing occasional lookups or building a small tool, you'll likely never pay us anything.
FAQ
- What counts as a request?
- Any non-exempt API request or MCP tool call. A "heavy" request (bill list, full bill, versions, compare, search) also counts against a separate, smaller daily heavy-route limit.
- What happens when I hit the cap?
- A 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds to the next UTC midnight for daily quota, or to the next minute for burst) and an error.code of quota_exceeded or rate_limited. There's also a silent 10% grace above the stated limit so an in-progress job finishes instead of half-failing.
- Refunds?
- Subscriptions: full refund within 7 days of the charge, prorated after. Snapshots: refundable until the download link is sent, not after. See /terms.
- Can I redistribute a snapshot?
- Not as-is. Building a product or analysis on top of the data is fine and encouraged (with attribution) — reselling the raw files needs an Enterprise agreement. See /terms.
