# Provenance stamped 2026-08-11: this artifact was written by the API Evangelist
# bulk sweep dated 2026-05-04, not harvested from the provider. See roadmap#35.
# Corrected 2026-08-13: the single "Retail Media / CPG Partner Agreement" plan
# entry this file previously carried was a scaffold shell invented by that sweep
# — its own notes said so. It has been removed. Albertsons publishes no plans,
# so the honest value is plan_count: 0.

description: Albertsons does not operate a public developer portal with published API pricing. Commercial
  surface for retail-media and CPG-partner integrations runs through the Albertsons Media Collective and
  partner CPG / agency agreements. Pricing is bespoke and tied to media spend, retail-media campaigns,
  and data-collaboration commitments.

notes: >-
  Verified 2026-08-13. Albertsons publishes no API plans or pricing of any kind —
  not a tier list, not a "contact us" pricing page for the API. The 2025-01-07
  Albertsons Media Collective announcement says the API is available to
  participating advertisers and names no commercial terms. There is no reachable
  developer portal to sign up through: the recorded Azure API Management portal
  host does not resolve (SERVFAIL on the whole stratus.albertsons.com zone) and
  api.albertsons.com is a stale record with all ports filtered. Access is
  negotiated inside a Media Collective advertising agreement.
