description: Magic Eden offers free, public access to read endpoints for each chain
  surface (Solana, EVM, Ordinals) with default per-minute throughput. Higher rate
  limits and access to authenticated instruction endpoints are obtained by submitting
  an API key request via Airtable (separate US and non-US intake forms). There is
  no published consumer pricing page - higher tiers are quoted via the form.
notes: Marketplace itself takes a platform fee on listings/sales; that is separate
  from the developer API and not represented as an API plan here.
