API products with the possibility of free use:
You can use each of these products for free, or for a fee. To use them for free, you have to meet the conditions listed below.

The free version of the API is intended only for websites and applications that any internet user is allowed to access.

The free version of the API is not intended for projects with restricted access, such as by invitation-only or limited to employees inside a company. |
2. The API may not be used in commercial projects

|
The free version of the API is not designed for projects that charge a fee for registration or licensing. |

Note that you are allowed to cache responses from the geocoder and router for up to 30 days. You also may not change the data you receive from the API. For example, you aren't allowed to change the ranking of search results. |
