  Hotelbeds (HBX Group) does not publish public, self-serve API pricing. APItude
  is a B2B distribution platform sold through a partner / sales-led model: travel
  sellers register for free evaluation API keys (rate-limited to a small daily
  quota), then go through a certification process and sign a commercial agreement
  before production access. Revenue is earned on the margin between net wholesale
  rates and the seller's resale price rather than on per-call API fees, so no
  per-request price list is published.
notes: >-
  Pricing, margins, credit terms, and production thresholds are negotiated per
  partner under contract. Values here are not reconciled against a public rate
  card because none exists.
