Which plan do I need?
Free is for building and testing. Starter fits one non-real-time CS2 product such as a stats page or a bot. Pro is the default for a production app that shows live scores in real time. Scale is for live products that push updates to many users over WebSockets.
What counts as a request?
Each REST call counts as one request, whatever the page size. An SSE stream counts one at connect and one per 15 seconds it stays open. Calls rejected for a missing or invalid key are not counted.
Do I have to credit Cito API?
Not on a paid plan: Starter, Pro and Scale need no attribution. The free plan is for building and testing, not for commercial products.
