Contractor Data API — Free Counts, Previews and Pricing
Free contractor data API: exact dataset counts, masked previews, and pricing under /api/v1/. OpenAPI, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt for agents. Production Stripe subscription API access is live with Bearer-key authentication; the separate x402 rail remains Base Sepolia testnet only.
