Apply for free academic and nonprofit research access

Files one application per address for the research and education programme. Approval is manual: a person reads every application, there is no automatic decision, no service level and no guarantee. An approved applicant is emailed a single-use Stripe promotion code, redeemed at self-serve checkout against any tier: it takes 100% off for 12 months, so the total is $0, Stripe collects no card, and the API key is issued by the same webhook that issues a paid one. Re-submitting the same address returns already_recorded and never overwrites an application that has already been decided. Stores what you send plus a timestamp, CF-IPCountry and a status, and no IP address. The record is not an API key and cannot be used as one. Not billable against the daily quota, but rate limited like every other /v1/ route (60 requests/minute per IP without a key).
