Production contractor data API
Use free discovery to find a product_id, then retrieve paid contractor records with a Bearer API key. API Starter is $39/month for 5,000 row credits; API Agency is $99/month for 25,000 row credits. One credit equals one contractor row returned.
The separate x402 rail remains Base Sepolia testnet only; production subscription access uses Bearer authentication.
