  Machine-readable plans and pricing scaffold for the Taylor & Francis API
  surface. Taylor & Francis API access is primarily gated by institutional
  subscription agreements. KBART and SUSHI APIs are available to subscribing
  institutions at no additional charge; content and TDM access requires an
  existing subscription or a negotiated licence. Prices and quota limits below
  are scaffold defaults to be reconciled with Taylor & Francis's published
  terms.
