Hypixel Plans Pricing
Hypixel Public API is offered as a free, key-based service. There are no paid tiers — instead, Hypixel grants two application classes via the Developer Dashboard (https://developer.hypixel.net). "Personal" keys are issued to any signed-in user on a short (default 3-day) rotation and are intended for guild-tracking or hobby use. "Production" applications require a written request and unlock longer-lived keys plus permission to run monetized services. Hypixel's policy mandates that any monetized application using the API must offer a free tier of access to all users; gating raw API content behind a paywall is not permitted unless the gated experience is "transformative." All commercial terms (revenue share, support tiers, paid feeds) are explicitly absent — the API itself is and remains free.
Hypixel Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Hypixel on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, covering freemium tiers, with named plans including Personal Key, Production Application.
Tagged areas include Gaming, Minecraft, Player Stats, SkyBlock, and Public API.
