Legal Stuff (Keep It Simple)
By using our API, you agree to these terms. We may update them occasionally (we'll email you about important changes). The service is provided "as-is" - we're not liable for business decisions you make based on the data.
Disputes? Let's talk it out first. If needed, disputes are governed by U.S. federal law.
