Placement in the Grid
Where this vendor sits on the GridRouter Grid in each category it serves. No vendor pays for placement.
API
The vendor's OpenAPI document as stored in the catalog, its operations, and the rate limits it publishes.
Rebuilt from the vendor's public docs, only what the pages show. Each operation links the page it came from; response shapes the docs don't spell out are left empty rather than guessed.
