# Provenance stamped 2026-10-07 (roadmap#943): written by an API Evangelist sweep (undated — the file carries no date and git cannot supply one), not
# harvested from the provider. `method: generated` so the economics campaign may replace it with a
# dated, verbatim transcription; every figure below is unverified until it does.
# Coverage demoted 2026-10-07 (roadmap#942, PLAN.md Stage A): this file was written by an API Evangelist
# sweep and names no billing unit, meters or pricing category read from the provider — it restates the

description: >
  Clojars is a free, open source, community-maintained artifact repository.
  There are no API usage costs, no metered billing, and no paid tiers.
  All API consumers should be aware that the service is sustained by community
  donations and volunteer effort; responsible usage (caching responses,
  respecting bulk data update intervals) directly supports the platform's
  sustainability.
cost_model: free
pricing_url: https://clojars.org/
cost_drivers:
  - type: API Calls
    cost: $0.00
    notes: All read API calls are free and unauthenticated
  - type: Artifact Publishing
    cost: $0.00
    notes: Publishing requires a free account and deploy token; no per-publish fee
  - type: Storage
    cost: $0.00
    notes: No storage fees for hosting artifacts
optimization_tips:
  - Cache API responses locally; artifact metadata changes infrequently
  - Use bulk data files (all-poms.txt, feed.clj.gz) for bulk ingestion rather than making per-artifact API calls
  - Poll release-feed with from= timestamp to get only new releases since last check
  - Download statistics update once daily at 07:00 UTC; avoid polling stats endpoints more frequently
  - Use compressed bulk files (all-poms.txt.gz, all-jars.clj.gz, feed.clj.gz) to reduce bandwidth
