  HackerNoon publishes no API, so there are no API plans to record. plan_count is 0 on
  purpose. The two commercial surfaces a machine could plausibly mistake for API pricing are
  recorded below with what is and is not published: business blogging packages (a media
  product, credit-based, only the Enterprise tier is rendered server-side and it is
  "Custom / Contact Us") and AI content licensing (bundles named in llms.txt with no prices
  at all). Both are contact-gated.

      The lower-tier package table is rendered client-side and returns no prices to a
      non-browser fetch; only the Enterprise column and a Stripe-secured order summary are
      present in the served HTML. No numeric price is published server-side. The /shop path
      (HTTP 200) is physical merchandise, not a plan.

      These bundles are enumerated in llms.txt, but the licensing page llms.txt points at
      (https://hackernoon.com/ai-licensing) 308-redirects to the site root, and the variant
      robots.txt points at (https://business.hackernoon.com/ai-licensing) returns 404. The
      product is advertised to machines; the page describing it is gone.
