Fetches one data response: GET data.forum.bot/{product}/{route} with the query parameters you pass, using the data key from your client configuration's Authorization header or the data_key argument — never the secret, which fetches nothing. A successful call is billed the product's price per call; a refused call costs nothing. The result carries the payload with the platform's meta block (licence and attribution) and the rate-limit headers; the balance is read with account_status, never from a data response. Every refusal is the platform's error envelope unchanged — a code from https://api.forum.bot/errors.json; 402 payment_required means the key is known but cannot pay for this product now, and 401 invalid_key means it is authorized for no product at all, most often because every credit is spent. Both carry an action_url: a human tops up there (get_topup_link returns the page) and the same key serves again within the engine's build interval plus the region's poll interval.
