Usc Plans Pricing

University of Southern California is a non-commercial higher-education institution; its APIs are not sold as a commercial product. USC publishes no price list, no plan page and no self-service key issuance for any API. The institution-operated surfaces that are public - the Shibboleth/SAML identity provider metadata and the FaceBase ERMrest catalog - are keyless and free. The one full REST API on a USC host, the Orange Logic Cortex API at digitallibrary.usc.edu/API, is free of charge but requires a token that is not self-service. Verified 2026-08-30; this file describes an absence of commercial terms, not a published plan.
