    I was under the impression that you could still use the API for free within a limit. The 3rd party app developers could just have users input their own API credentials to use the app.

      I hadn’t seen anything about end user access to the API. Got a link?

      I can’t remember where I read it but the Apollo developer ask about doing exactly that. He was told no. They charged based on client ID (per app) not user ID.

      Theoretically, you could do it anyway but it would require each user to deploy their own customized version of the app thay has their personal keys baked in. Not exactly scalable and user friendly.
