  PancakeSwap provides its core REST and GraphQL APIs free of charge with no
  registration required. The Info API v2 and Profile API are open endpoints
  requiring no API key. Subgraph access via The Graph Protocol may require
  GRT (Graph Token) for queries on the decentralized network; hosted service
  endpoints on The Graph and NodeReal MegaNode may have their own usage tiers.
  PancakeSwap itself does not currently offer paid commercial API plans.
