## Data

- Freshness: live
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Permitted use: Collecting publicly accessible information for price monitoring, market research, SEO, lead generation, brand protection, academic research, AI training on lawfully accessible content, and testing your own properties. Prohibited use: Accessing content behind authentication you are not authorised to use, defeating paywalls, or bypassing access controls on systems you do not own. Collecting personal data without a lawful basis, scraping content protected by copyright for redistribution, or targeting sites that have contractually prohibited your access. Sending volumes designed to degrade a target's service, distributing malware, or conducting credential stuffing, fraud or any criminal activity. Circumventing plan limits, including creating or using multiple free accounts, sharing keys across organisations, or otherwise obtaining free credits beyond the one account permitted per person and per organisation. [...] Irmu is neutral infrastructure: you choose which URLs are requested and what you do with the response, and you are responsible for holding the rights or a lawful exception for that use. Extracting facts such as prices and availability is generally lawful, reproducing substantial portions of protected expression for republication is not, absent a licence or exception. [...] Free accounts may not be used to resell or sublicense the service, to provide production workloads on behalf of third parties, to run automated stress or capacity testing, or to publish benchmarks without our prior written consent.
