It targets health, agriculture, logistics, and advertising use cases, with customers including Bayer, GSK, Kimberly-Clark, and WPP. A 15-day evaluation plan offers 100 calls per day, but all paid plans require a sales conversation. The API is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified, supports API key auth and webhooks, and includes a Python SDK.",
