6 of these are metered: the price depends on how much the call reads. See Credits.
37 are beta: they return the source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp) rather than a schema-2 entity, and their fields may change. See Schema 2.
