  Climate Engine's commercial API (api.climateengine.org) is sold through a
  partner / sales-led model. Access requires an API key issued by the
  ClimateEngine.org team, and usage is governed by per-account request quotas
  rather than publicly published per-call pricing. The non-commercial
  ClimateEngine.org web application remains free for research, education, and
  government use. Public, itemized commercial rate cards are not published, so
  pricing entries below are not reconciled.
notes: >-
  Contact the Climate Engine team for commercial / partner pricing and to
  request an API key. Quota tiers and any per-request pricing are negotiated
  and are not published on a public pricing page as of the created date.
