Punkapi Plans Pricing
Punk API was always offered as a free, no-signup, no-key public REST API with no commercial pricing surface. There were no paid tiers, no metered usage, no quotas, and no SLAs. The service was funded as a community project by Sam Mason (sammdec / samjbmason). BrewDog decommissioned the hosted api.punkapi.com endpoint in 2023 and the supporting repositories (sammdec/punkapi-db, sammdec/punkapi-server) were archived on 2023-06-28. Teams that want the data going forward are expected to self-host the open-source server against the `punkapi-db` dataset (npm package) or use a community-maintained mirror. There is no plan surface to negotiate, sell, or upgrade.
