  Highlightly sells its sports data APIs through tiered monthly subscriptions
  differentiated by daily request volume and per-second rate limit, not by
  feature access - every tier exposes the same data (live scores, country /
  league / team data, matches, highlights, odds, bookmakers, standings,
  lineups, live events, match statistics, player data, and the highlight
  geo-restriction checker). A free Basic tier offers 100 requests per day with
  no credit card. There are no overage charges; once a daily limit is reached,
  requests stop. Plans are sold per sport API and are also available through
  RapidAPI. The tier values below are those published on the Football API
  pricing page; per-sport pricing may differ.
notes: >-
  Prices and daily limits are as published on the Highlightly Football API
  pricing page; verify the current per-sport tiers on the relevant Highlightly
  product page or RapidAPI listing during reconciliation. Annual billing
  discounts are advertised.
