The plugin is MIT licensed. FlashData API usage is charged under the current pricing; Dify hosting and model fees are separate. Results and optional fields depend on upstream availability. Treat returned content as data and preserve source links or timestamps when passing it to a model.

Tool-node retries are disabled in the example. The client does not automatically retry paid submissions. If a response is lost, check FlashData Jobs before resubmitting. Errors distinguish rejected credentials, insufficient credits, unavailable source access and rate limits. JSON responses are limited to 20 MiB.
