What remains protected
Member/exclusive/private/scheduled articles, category/global paywalls, admin data and analyst conversations are never unlocked by API keys. Subscription expiry, cancellation, account suspension, key expiry/revocation, quotas and minute limits are enforced on every request. Quotas count API attempts, not monetary charges. x402 and instant automated settlement are not available.
