description: >-
  Century Communities bills nothing for API access because it sells no API. Re-checked
  2026-09-14: no developer portal, no pricing page, no metered surface. The one live API —
  the Optimizely Content Delivery API on its marketing site — is free, anonymous and
  unmetered. There is no cost for a consumer to manage.
notes: >-
  The FOCUS mapping below is retained only as the shape a FinOps practice would use if this
  company ever billed for data access. It describes nothing Century Communities charges for
  today, and the illustrative meter the 2026-05-04 sweep invented has been removed.
