description: >-
  Johns Hopkins University is a non-commercial higher-education institution; its APIs are not sold
  as a commercial product. Public APIs (library, repository, course, and open-metadata
  interfaces) are offered free of charge, typically for non-commercial use. Most
  administrative and identity APIs are not openly self-service and require institutional
  affiliation, credentials, or federation membership rather than a paid plan.
notes: >-
  No published per-seat or per-call commercial pricing. "Free / Open" reflects open
  public endpoints; "Affiliation / Credentialed" reflects access gated by institutional
  identity rather than payment.
