  LooksRare's public API is available free of charge with a mandatory attribution
  requirement — any platform displaying LooksRare NFT data must show a visible
  link back to the LooksRare marketplace. A mainnet API key is required for
  write operations (order creation) and can be requested via the developer
  Discord. The Sepolia testnet endpoint requires no API key.

      Full access to all public API read endpoints at no cost. Developers must
      display attribution to LooksRare (a link to the marketplace) alongside
      any NFT data surfaced on their platform or application. A mainnet API key
      is required for POST /v2/orders (order creation); keys are requested via
      the LooksRare developer Discord. Sepolia testnet access requires no key.

      Higher rate limits are available upon request but require a production
      application. LooksRare has indicated it is unlikely to grant elevated
      limits to applications still under development. Developers should contact
      the team via the developer Discord to discuss requirements.
