notes:
  - All paid plans operate against the single api.0x.org base URL across Swap, Gasless, Cross-Chain (private beta), Trade Analytics, and Sources surfaces using a unified `0x-api-key` header.
  - 0x's revenue model layers three streams on top of the subscription fee on the Standard plan, integrator and 0x volume fees configured per request, and trade-surplus capture by 0x on positive price improvement.
