  DAT does not sell the API as a standalone metered product. API access rides on
  top of a DAT One product subscription. RESTful integration requires a load
  board subscription plus a service (organization) account, and RateView API
  access requires a Combo Pro or Combo Premium subscription. Published,
  reconciled DAT price points are not available on the public site - the numbers
  below are third-party estimates and MUST be reconciled with a DAT sales quote.
  Contact developersupport@dat.com for developer portal access.
notes: >-
  Setup fee (~$500-$1,000) and per-user subscription (~$50-$300/user/month,
  brokers averaging ~$159) and transaction fees (~0.5-1% per load) are
  third-party estimates from an integration write-up, not confirmed DAT list
  prices. Any level of DAT One load board subscription enables RESTful API
  integration; RateView API requires Combo Pro or Combo Premium.
