description: GoDaddy does not publish a developer-portal price list with paid API tiers. API access is
  free with a GoDaddy account and gated by access type (Self-Serve vs Reseller) and product eligibility
  (e.g. Availability API requires 50+ domains, Management/DNS APIs require 1+ domain or an active Discount
  Domain Club Domain Pro Plan). All chargeable activity is the underlying registrar/SSL/domain product
  fee paid through a 'Good as Gold' funded account. Published API rate limit is 60 requests per minute
  per endpoint.
