A very good example is [https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started Google's YouTube API]. They charge a fee for information requests, but have a daily amount of “free” requests. Like Cueball, you have to provide your personal key with every request. However '''all''' of the information available through the API, is more easily available for free, if you just load the page of a video. Formatted neatly in identified blocks, ready for import into another system. | A very good example is [https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started Google's YouTube API].

:Interesting - thanks. I noted this in the explanation, but since Google has a real API and doesn't describe their regular pages as an API, I still wonder if there are better examples. Also, does Google perhaps limit such requests if they get a lot from the same logged-in user, or the same IP address?
