BOSS is currently offered to developers free of charge. In the near future (likely late Q2 2009), we plan to implement a fee structure for API use above a set threshold.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

BOSS will continue to offer free use of the API below a set daily threshold – up to 10,000 search queries per day depending on the type of API call. In addition, we plan to implement a service level agreement (SLA<\/st1:place>) in parallel with fees. We will announce firm timing and further details when we get closer to launch.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

When we implement fees, we also plan to offer developers the ability to make non-time sensitive API requests at a significantly reduced price. This “off-peak” option can be used for research and analysis efforts to support building search experiences and would allow developers to request queries to be fulfilled by BOSS when capacity permits.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

How Will Fees Work?<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

We currently plan to implement a fee system with the following structure:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fees will be determined based on the number and type of API requests made per day <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>We are no longer restricting developers from monetizing their products using third-party platforms <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fees will be determined using a unit system <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Units for Web, News, and Image BOSS API calls will be incurred based on the last result requested. For example, an API call requesting results 91-100 is the same cost as one requesting results 1-100 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Developers may request up to 1000 results in a single API call <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Units will cost $.10<\/span><\/b> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Developers will receive 30 units per day for free of charge<\/span><\/b> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
