## Hosted version (pastearr.lunarwerx.com)

- **$0.** Paste a public IMDb watchlist or list URL, get two links back that fill in on the list's
  first read from IMDb. No signup, no
  card, no trial period, no usage cap enforced by pricing.
- Optional sign-in with Connections only changes whether the feed is refreshed automatically.

## Bring-your-own-API-key costs

**None.** Pastearr does not call any metered, key-gated API that the user pays for directly:

- IMDb's own GraphQL API is called without a user-supplied API key (no key exists for it).
- TVMaze, used to resolve TVDB ids for Sonarr, is called without a user-supplied API key.
- TMDB, used for the poster popup's details and as a second TVDB-id source, is called by the hosted service with its own token, so users supply nothing.
- There is no AI/LLM API call anywhere in this product, so there is no bring-your-own
  OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. key or per-token cost to account for.

## What's NOT included

- No premium tier, no usage-based billing, no ads-supported free tier with a paid upgrade.
- No guarantee of uptime or refresh cadence beyond what's documented in the README (scheduled
  GitHub Actions runs, which can drift under GitHub's own load).

## Fair use note

IMDb's own API terms carry a disclaimer forbidding public and commercial use of the data Pastearr reads. The product is built and offered for personal, non-commercial, single-household
use in line with that language, not as a resale product or a public index.
