  Gracenote publishes no prices, no tiers and no self-serve plans. Access to every API is licensed
  through a sales conversation. The developer portal states it directly in its own onboarding copy:
  "New to Gracenote? Create an account and contact Sales for an API key." A portal account can be
  self-registered; a key cannot. There is no pricing page on gracenote.com and none on the developer
  portal — the portal's primary call to action is a "Contact Sales" link to
  https://gracenote.com/?form=contact-us.

    Gracenote does publish PACKAGING without prices. GMD API v2 features are sold as base packages
    (Base, Search, Discovery, Advanced Discovery) plus add-ons (Artist Images, Cover Art, Popularity
    Scores, Partner IDs, Industry IDs, Styles, GN TMS Person ID), and a customer's subscription
    determines which fields appear in API responses. The Nexus API expresses the same idea in the
    contract: "Nexus API keys are entitled to different sets of data and functionality — this reflects
    the features that have been licensed for that key. A 403 return code will be returned when
    attempting to access features that a key is not entitled for."
  entitlement_surface:
  - api: GMD API v3
    operations: ['GET /entitlements/lookup']
    note: The only machine-readable entitlement surface Gracenote publishes — a key can ask what it is licensed for.

  This file replaces an API Evangelist bulk-sweep scaffold dated 2026-05-04 that invented three tiers
  (Free 1,000 req/month, Professional 100,000 req/month, Enterprise) with placeholder prices. None of
  those tiers exist. The scaffold was a template, not a measurement, and has been removed.
