As a multi year subscriber I had the same thoughts/feelings when I found out that they want to charge me extra for using the search API when I'm already a pro member. It's very nickel and dimey for a company that I already pay $200 a year to.
- freediver 6d agoAPI incurs very different usage patterns than humans do, That affects margins and professional plan was made years ago with human use in mind, not programatic access. Paying for only what you use for API is the most fair way to do it.
- skylurk 6d agoI think it would be nice to have a small monthly API allowance in the professional plan.
- tacomagick 5d agoAbsolutely, even for personal use sometimes you need API access like letting a local model access the internet or even a small python script to search and filter related research papers to your thesis. Limiting all API access behind another paywall is dirty.
