  Centrica publishes no commercial API pricing. The only access tiers that exist anywhere on
  a Centrica developer surface are the two default Azure API Management products on the
  Centrica FieldOps developer portal (DEVELOPMENT environment), read verbatim from that
  portal's own management API. Both are subscription-gated and neither carries a price —
  they are access tiers, not paid plans. Real FieldOps access is a commercial partner
  arrangement with Centrica's field-service business; the production portal and gateway
  (api-developer.fieldops.centrica.com, api.fieldops.centrica.com) both answer 403
  anonymously. No consumer or business energy-data API is sold at any price.

notes: >-
  These are the stock Azure API Management "Starter" and "Unlimited" product templates,
  left at their default descriptions. That is itself the finding: Centrica has not curated
  a commercial API packaging layer. Recorded verbatim rather than interpreted — the
  5 calls/minute and 100 calls/week figures are Centrica's own published text, not an
  inference.
