Do I need to pay or provide an API Key?

Absolutely not. The broadcaster database queries operate completely unmetered in the public domain, providing direct agency-to-agent accessibility.

Can I search for both television and radio networks?

Yes. This configuration comes with dedicated AI routes for looking up specific Call Signs spanning across the entire FM, AM, and modern TV landscape.

Are there limits to how many searches I can perform daily?

As the platform utilizes public regulatory endpoints natively, there are no strict quotas. You can safely poll multiple licensing metrics back-to-back without hitting hard paywalls.
