Method
The measurement behind it
A fixed corpus of 4,170 queries, run once a week from the United States through one endpoint, stored and never re-fetched. 4,170 observations across 1 weeks so far. The method is written out in full on how we measure.

Free tier, no card. Same endpoint, same parameters — the corpus is the only thing you would need to supply.
