Nasa Plans Pricing
NASA Open APIs at api.nasa.gov are free of charge to all consumers. There are no paid tiers or commercial plans; access is governed by a single signed-up API key tier (1,000 requests per hour) and a shared DEMO_KEY for evaluation (30 per hour, 50 per day per IP). Higher limits require contacting api@nasa.gov.
Nasa Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for NASA on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 3 plans, covering freemium and enterprise tiers, with named plans including DEMO_KEY, Signed-up API Key, Custom Higher Limits.
