  Edmunds publishes no plans and no pricing, and says so explicitly. Its developer FAQ
  answers the question "Do you have a paid tier?" with "No, we do not have a fee-for-service
  model." The open API program was retired effective 2018-02-15 and access is now granted
  only to select strategic partners, service providers, dealers and automotive advertisers,
  brokered privately through an Edmunds Account Executive — there is no signup, no tier
  list, no quota table and no published commercial terms of any kind. plan_count is 0 because
  that is the measurement, not because the pricing page was not found.
findings:
  - question: Do you have a paid tier?
    answer: No, we do not have a fee-for-service model.

  - question: I'm an Edmunds dealer partner. How do I get access?
    answer: >-
      You should contact your Edmunds Account Executive and let them know you need API
      access.

supersedes:
  note: >-
    This file replaces a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that asserted Free / Professional /
    Enterprise tiers with 1,000 and 100,000 request monthly quotas. None of those tiers
    existed; the provider's own FAQ contradicts them directly. The scaffold was
    method: generated and is superseded here by method: searched.
