description: The Reddit Data API has a free OAuth-authenticated tier intended for non-commercial
  use and a commercial enterprise tier sold through contact-sales. Reddit's public developer
  pages are protected against automated fetch, so concrete commercial rates could not be reconciled
  from the live source.
sources:
  - https://www.reddit.com/wiki/api
notes: Reddit developer/policy pages are gated against automated fetch; concrete commercial
  pricing for the Reddit Data API is not publicly listed and must be obtained through Reddit
  sales. Free non-commercial tier exists but its exact terms could not be verified live.
