notes: Paid (Pro) tier authenticates with an API key passed as the api_key query parameter (keys issued via sales
  contact, no self-serve signup). The free Community API at community-api.coinmetrics.io/v4 requires no authentication
  at all (CC BY-NC 4.0, non-commercial). Rate-limit plan is signaled per key via the X-RateLimit-Plan response header.
