There are no costs associated with accessing the API or downloading datasets. FAO is funded through member-state contributions and operates FAOSTAT as part of its mandate to collect, analyse, and disseminate global food and agricultural statistics. url: https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/ pricing-model: free cost: currency: USD per-call: 0.00 per-month: 0.00 notes: > No credit card, subscription, or registration is required for data access. The developer portal offers sign-in for convenience features only. Organizations that make heavy programmatic use are encouraged to use the bulk download endpoints (bulks-faostat.fao.org) rather than repeated API calls to individual endpoints, in order to reduce server load.
