Department Of Veterans Affairs Plans Pricing
The VA API Platform (developer.va.gov, the Lighthouse program) is operated as a public-sector developer platform with no published commercial pricing. Access is free for both sandbox and production, but production access requires an onboarding application that includes terms-of-service review, security attestations, and (for clinical/PII APIs such as Benefits Claims and FHIR) Veteran-data-use approval. There are no paid tiers; differentiation is between sandbox (mock-data) and production (live VA data) environments.
