## Data

- Freshness: live
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Things you may not do: Use the tools for anything illegal, including fraud, sanctions evasion or market manipulation. [...] Ask the tools to read, capture or attest pages you have no right to access, or use them to get around a site’s login, paywall or access controls. [...] Attack, overload or misuse TOLLkit’s servers, or get around prices or rate limits. Resell TOLLkit’s answers in a way that breaks the terms of the sources they came from. [...] Where an answer carries a source credit or notice, such as the Fear & Greed Index by Alternative.me, IP geolocation by DB-IP, or the Census Bureau notice, keep it with the data if you show that data to others.
