Bls Plans Pricing
The Bureau of Labor Statistics Public Data API is freely available to the public at no cost. Two tiers of access are offered, differentiated by registration status rather than by payment. The unauthenticated tier (Version 1.0) requires no signup and is suitable for exploratory use, while the registered tier (Version 2.0) is also free but requires a valid email address to obtain an API key unlocking higher limits and additional features.
Bls Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Bureau of Labor Statistics on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, with named plans including Unregistered (Version 1.0), Registered (Version 2.0).
Tagged areas include Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, Employment, Unemployment, and CPI.
