  Skimlinks publishes no plans, tiers or price list for its APIs or for its
  publisher platform. The Merchant, Reporting and Product Key APIs carry no
  separate charge and no metered pricing — API access is a feature of a
  Skimlinks publisher account, and the commercial relationship is a revenue
  share whose actual percentage is disclosed only inside the login-protected
  Publisher Hub. The full site was walked on the generated date: there is no
  /pricing page, and the only numeric commercial terms Skimlinks publishes
  anywhere are the payment mechanics in the Terms of Service.

plans: []

  metered: false
  note: >-
    No per-call, per-seat or tiered API pricing is published. Rate limits (see
    rate-limits/skimbit-rate-limits.yml) are the only published consumption
    ceiling, and the Product Key API docs say defaults are raised by contacting
    an account manager rather than by upgrading a plan.
