API Usage Pricing Route
A route type describes the purchase or access path. Pricing model, direct plan rows, purchase track, and pricing owner remain separate fields.
01
Route taxonomy is about access path, not price level, ranking, buyer fit, or editorial guidance.Route definition
Definition
Developer or system access purchased through metered API usage.
Use when
The official pricing source defines API meters such as requests, tokens, jobs, minutes, or compute.
Do not use when
API is only a delivery mode and has no separate pricing or access route.
02
Current formal records can combine this route with multiple commercial models. The model describes charging logic; the route describes the access path.Model coverage
