Hong Kong Baptist University Plans Pricing
Hong Kong Baptist University is a non-commercial, UGC-funded higher-education institution and sells no API. Revised 2026-08-30 against what was actually probed: HKBU operates four surfaces of its own — a Shibboleth/SAML identity provider, a GenAI Platform gateway, a self-hosted Moodle with LTI 1.3 and web services, and a first-party mobile backend — and exactly one of them, the IdP metadata document, is reachable without a credential. The rest require institutional affiliation, not payment. There is no free tier, no paid tier and no self-service signup, because there is no commercial offering to tier. The earlier claim of public library, repository, course and open-metadata APIs was not supported by probe and has been removed.

Administrative and identity APIs gated behind institutional SSO, client certificates, or federation membership rather than payment.
