  Ricoh USA's API surfaces have two distinct commercial postures. The RICOH THETA Web / Bluetooth /
  USB APIs are open, free, and unauthenticated — they ship with every THETA camera and require no
  separate developer agreement; the cost is the price of the camera itself. The RICOH360 Cloud API
  and Ricoh Smart Integration platform are gated commercial offerings: access requires sales contact
  and approval, and pricing is not published publicly. Plan tiers below model both postures.
notes: |
  RICOH360 Cloud API and Ricoh Smart Integration pricing are not publicly listed; both require
  contacting RICOH sales. The previously documented developer endpoints at smartintegrationapi.com
  do not currently respond, indicating either retirement or restricted access.
