description: >-
  The Philadelphia Inquirer does not operate a commercial developer API
  program. Its programmatic surfaces (RSS feeds, XML sitemaps, the Dewey MCP
  open-source server) are free of charge and unmetered. End-user reader
  subscriptions exist for the website, e-edition, and print paper, but those
  are consumer media subscriptions rather than API plans. This file captures
  the developer plane as free and unmetered, and references the consumer
  subscription page for completeness.

  description: >-
    Public RSS feeds, XML sitemaps, and Dewey MCP (self-hosted) are free of
    charge. No API keys, no quotas, no contract. Standard web etiquette
    (User-Agent header, reasonable polling cadence) applies.

    amount: 0
    currency: USD
    interval: none

notes:
- The Inquirer's consumer subscription page (https://www.inquirer.com/subscribe/)

  and personalized and is not part of the developer plane.
- The Lenfest Institute (nonprofit owner) funds journalism initiatives via
  grants rather than developer-program revenue.
