description: >-
  ReccoBeats publishes no paid pricing. The ReccoBeats API is described as
  completely free to use, with no subscription, no cost barriers, and no API
  key or authentication required. Usage is governed by internal, undisclosed
  rate limits rather than by a metered or tiered plan. There is a single,
  free-of-charge access model covering all endpoints (track, artist, album,
  audio features, audio-file analysis, and recommendations).
notes: >-
  No paid tiers, quotas, or contractual plans are documented as of the review
  date. The only stated constraints are the audio-analysis file limits (5 MB,
  30 seconds analyzed) and internal rate limits (HTTP 429 with Retry-After).
  ReccoBeats also markets a separate desktop application (Lowkey Audio Engine)
  for offline analysis, which is out of scope for this API plan. Re-check the
  documentation for any future introduction of paid tiers.

    Free, keyless access to the entire ReccoBeats API - track, artist, and
    album metadata, catalog audio features, audio-file feature extraction, and
    track recommendations. No authentication and no published usage charges;
    throughput is bounded only by ReccoBeats' internal rate limits.
