Pricing & Rate Limits

Every route is free, standard, or plus. Fetch the authoritative route table before estimating cost:

curl -s https://agent-api.degov.ai/v2/meta/pricing

{
  "data": {
    "token": "USDC",
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "routes": [
      {
        "routeId": "v2.proposals.list",
        "method": "GET",
        "path": "/v2/proposals",
        "tier": "standard",
        "paid": true,
        "price": "0.005"
      }
    ]
  }
}

At the time of this example, standard calls cost 0.005 USDC and plus calls cost 0.01 USDC. Prices in the live response override documentation examples.

Tier	Typical use
free	Pricing, data status, DAO discovery and detail
standard	Proposal and forum discovery, events, signals, proposal resolution
plus	Proposal detail, votes, evidence, timelines, and voter research

Partner plans may enforce short-window rate limits and monthly quotas. A 429 response can mean either rate limiting or quota exhaustion; use the response code and retry guidance. x402 access is priced per successful paid request rather than by a partner subscription quota.

For efficient research, discover DAOs for free, use standard resources to narrow candidates, and call plus resources only for items that materially affect the answer.
