## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Data you receive (response bodies) belongs to you under the license of the specific API. Some APIs grant full ownership, others license the output for specific uses only. [...] The following uses are explicitly prohibited and will get your account suspended — with no refund, no warning, and no migration path: Illegal content or activity. Anything that violates applicable laws in your jurisdiction or ours (the Netherlands and the European Union). Reselling raw API access. You can build products on top of ApyHub, but you can't re-expose our API verbatim as your own product. Abusive traffic. Denial-of-service attacks, scraping behind authentication, or credential stuffing through our endpoints. Malware, spam, or phishing. Using our email-sending, URL-shortening, or content-moderation endpoints to facilitate any of these. Infringing content. Processing pirated media, trade-secret material, or content that violates third-party IP.
