## In their words

- Their pitch: AI news API with event clustering: turns scattered coverage of the same AI story into one structured, classified event.

## Data

- Freshness: 10 minutes
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Stay within your tier's rate limits. Don't try to circumvent them (multiple keys to dodge the daily cap, for example), and don't resell or redistribute raw Scoopkit event data as a competing dataset. Building a product on top of the API, including one that competes with Scoopkit in some other way, is fine, reselling the same data wholesale isn't.
