AU$329.40 Annual fee to use API
Summary: comicbookshop.co.nz raised a concern about an annual fee of AU$329.40 required to use an API. The discussion appears to be initiated to gather responses or insights about this fee, although no detailed content was provided in the responses.
Does anyone know if there's going to be an alternative option for API access once the 'Pro' plans are fully active?
From what I can tell anyone using the API either directly or through a 3rd party listings management plugin will have to have at minimum a 'Pro Basic' plan at a cost of AU $27.45/mo / AU$329.40/pa.
This feels like an excessive cost for something that is marketed as 'free', if nothing else they might want to reword:
""No time limit -- always free!" and includes 5,000 API calls per day."
Maybe something like this woiuld be more appropriate / accurate:
""No time limit -- at least AU$329.40/pa." and includes a 5,000 API calls per day limit too." 😄

OP6 months agoI'm not sure why they would call Pro-starter 'Pro' anything when it doesn't include API access... or how they can seriously call API 'always free!' when to use it in any way in the production environment requires a paid subscription.
