  description: >
    HealthData.gov is a U.S. federal government open data initiative operated
    by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). All data and API
    access are provided free of charge with no metered billing, subscription
    fees, or per-request costs. The platform is funded through federal
    appropriations. Developers pay only for their own infrastructure (compute,
    bandwidth) used to consume the API.

  costs:
    - item: API Access
      amount: 0.00
      currency: USD
      notes: No charge for any tier of API access.

    - item: App Token Registration
      amount: 0.00
      currency: USD
      notes: Free Socrata account required; no credit card needed.

    - item: Data Downloads
      amount: 0.00
      currency: USD
      notes: Bulk CSV/JSON exports are also free and unlimited.

  budgetConsiderations:
    - consideration: Egress / Bandwidth
      notes: >
        Consumer-side network egress from their own cloud environment may incur
        costs from their cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) when pulling
        large datasets. This is unrelated to HealthData.gov pricing.

    - consideration: Rate Limit Compliance
      notes: >
        Exceeding anonymous limits results in 429 errors; use a free app token
        to avoid unplanned interruptions at no additional cost.

    - consideration: SLA / Uptime
      notes: >
        As a federal government platform, HealthData.gov does not publish a
        paid SLA. Planned maintenance windows are announced on the site. Budget
        for retry logic and caching in dependent applications.
