Capabilities

Search, license, read.

Search

List and search processes and materials across every publisher, with region, boundary and source on every record.

License

License impact results by method, a process's full inventory, or single exchange's properties.

Read

Licensed values come back on every request, per the process's reference flow. List only what your team owns with ?pulled=true.

Pricing

Credits, priced like the Library.

Each datapoint costs the credits its publisher sets, multiplied by the number of people who will use it. No subscription and no minimum.
