Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It’s more complicated than that I think.

They also want the data but I wouldn’t be surprise if it’s more complicated

they are doing it so they can show the investors that an API request costs A amount and each request earns B amount, and we get C amount of API requests a day so in theory they will earn C(B-A). which will be a larger number if B is bigger which is what they have changed recently. This is all about the IPO.

That makes more sense… But only if someone actually pays it. I don’t see anyone paying what they’re asking.
