    Commercial use is routed through RapidAPI's "Imgur Commercial API" listing, which
    layers paid tiers on top of the same underlying v3 API.

notes:
  - Imgur's classic free Client-ID tier is the canonical entry point for hobby, OSS, and personal use.
  - Commercial deployments must use RapidAPI's metered tiers (Basic, Pro, Ultra, Mega) per Imgur ToS.
  - There is no longer an "Imgur Pro" subscription plan for the API itself; legacy Pro accounts have no impact on API quotas.
